  • That depends on your goals and what you are looking for. For example, you might be looking for muscle gain, endurance and general nutrition. Alternatively, if you were looking for strictly weight gain, whey protein powder would be best. Some ncaa programs are using Onesource now or Gatorade recovery but its very expensive and often shipped after expiration dates.
  • I like Unjury protein shake.
  • I like MuscleMilk, but the best tasting one with the highest amount of protein with minimal (zero) carbs and 4 grams of fiber is DymaLean.
  • There many types of protein. It depends what you need, if you say bodybuilding you can try whey protein.

No, protein shakes give you the necessary amino acids and protein that are needed for protein synthesis in the muscles after they are destroyed during a workout. Carbohydrate supplements can give you energy in the sense that they restore glycogen stores in the body which are used as energy, but protein is not the body's preferred source of fuel

If you are a guy and are trying to build muscle and bulk up a little bit, Syntha 6 is the way to go. It has more carbs than some powder proteins but it also has more protein. If you are not trying to bulk up and just want to build your muscle, go with Gold Standard Optimum Whey protein. It offers the best carb to protein ratio with minimal amount of carbs.

Protein helps to build muscle in the body which is why protein shakes can be beneficial. A person who is trying to build muscle by regularly weight lifting may benefit from the added protein that a protein shake provides. Protein shakes can also be more convenient for quicker protein absorption after a vigorous workout. Also, vegetarians may benefit from protein shakes to supplement a meatless diet. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/proteinshakebenefits.htm
