So tired of the eat real food comments.
You can get all of your protein from shakes if you want, and be just fine.
Big bowl of veggies and a shake? Sounds good.

Protein supplements do the job and I use them liberally to meet my numbers without a ton of extra calories or carbs. I have what equates to a GNC in my basement. It's actually concerning the level of stockpiling I have amassed.
My favorite Premade shakes:
Fairlife Nutrition, RAW, Quest 45g, Pure Protein Galactic Brownie. Basically it has to be 160c or less, and 30g or more.
My favorite protein bars:
Blue Unicorn (OH MY DOG!), David Gold and Bronze, Barebells Chocolate Dough, Salty Peanut and Brownie Batter, Pure Protein Galactic Brownie--this one I am really strict about because if it has more total carbs than protein, it's basically candy. It also has to have at least 1g of protein per 10 calories, though I prefer more like 2 per 10, which is basically David Gold bars. They are not my most favorite for texture or taste, but the macros trump it all. I cut them up and mix them into greek yogurt or cottage cheese mixed with protein powder.
My favorite protein powders:
Devotion Nutrition--I go through like 4lbs of Brownie Batter a month, also Angel Food, Sinful Cinnamon and Buttery Blend. I NEVER drink it though, I cook with it, it bakes and microwaves like a dream. I also use MealBoosters Parmesan and Cheesy Cheese (orange) like crazy too. The Parmesan is soooo good.
And protein "snacks":
Crisp Power pretzels, Quest Chips, Legendary Chips, Legendary Protein Pasta, on occasion a Legendary Tasty Pastry, PB Fit, Miracle Noodles/Pure Tradition Egg White noodles. I loved Catalina Crunch cereal til they just reformulated it and now it's crap. Ghost makes a really good Cinnamon Toast Crunch protein cereal too. The Lucky Charms is good but not as good as the CTC!

I use them both personally, as long as the protein bars arent chewy they are nice, use them to replace any chocolate/sweets etc

I got a great deal on the 'zon for three 5lb tubs of Muscle Mass Whey Protein. I grabbed them enthusiastically because I love MM protein drinks from the store.
...I hate their protein powder. I failed to notice you need TWO huge scoops to get 32g protein. And its chalky AF. Also, for some reason, on some days, its hits my stomach like a rock. Ugh.
But, I will shoulder on and finish them off. I paid like $35/each for them. I'm going back to ANIMAL whey protein when these are done. Very smooth and delicious.

So, now I can add to my list of protein specific foods the Premiere Protein cereal. Had no idea the makers of my fave RTD protein shake also has cereal. Grabbed a couple of boxes today at the market as I was kinda jonesing for some cereal since I often have instant oatmeal at home for a quick breakfast, but haven't had cereal in ages. I'm so excited! It gets to sit on the shelf next to the Quest chips and Built bars.

There's a brand of cereal called Ghost that some of my lifting friends eat. Actually, they might have powers for drinks too.ThatNextGril said:
