Most doctors who I have consulted with have recommended whey-protein
shakes on a daily basis. My doctor has me using two scoops of powder
in my morning smoothie, which comes to 50g of Protein. I actually
supplement this with another half scoop of egg-white protein. The one
thing that I try to pay attention to is the quality of the Whey
Protein. Look for 100% organic Whey Isolate that is not sweetened with
sugar alcohols or splenda. (personal choice) Of the options available
to me at my local grocery store I like Jay Robb brand products. They
are natural and only sweetiened with Stevia (a natural calorie free
sweetner that doesn't cause gas and other digestive distress that some
artificial sweetners can produce)
