WHEY Protein avoids that, it basically gives you Protein and nothing/not much else. At the expense of not tasting well.
You can always go with a meal supplement that has more calories and fat and stuff in it, as well as the Protein, *and* tastes good.
Problem with those, they cost more and they have the Calories/Fat that you might not want, although a lot of people love them.

whey protein is often more potent than other proteins as well.
personally, i take meal replacement type shakes during the day, and the regular milkshake stuff before bed

well here is the thing with protein some type are fast digesting and others are slower. Whey protein is fast digestion so u take it before a work out, and whey helps prevent muscle break down while working out, do to raising the insulin levels in ur body. (id take it about 90-85 minutes before workout)
really the best thing to mix ur whey pre workout protein with is apple juice do to its easy abosrbing carbs. will give u more energy when working out.
for post work out u need a whey-casein meal replacment portein, with fruit, to keep the insulin levels high to help ur muslces repair and produce growth hormone. they whey burns off fast so the casein will be slower digesting. i take it with some honey to help replenish some carbs. (i take it right after i get back from the gym).
eating chicken, tuna, meat is still needed along with the powder. for getting more muscular u need close to 300g of protein a day.
i read this stuff out of M&F so no bull shit.

I've gotten fat and unmuscular in 2 1/2 weeks time.
I not allowed to lift anything more than 30 lbs or strain myself, or risk getting sweat in my eyes
stopped with my creatine and protein during this time as it would just go to waste anyway.
I've lost lean mass and gained fat - i eat like i'm still working out 10-15 hours a week

1.) 25 grams protein/sitting
2.) protein is harmful to the liver
3.) creatine does nothing but fill muscles with water
I have to admit that I disagree with you but I'm willing to listen.
