I use Beverly International protein supplement.

Beverly International Nutrition Official Website

Its a blend of casein, whey and egg whites, there might be soy in there too, I can't remember. I just mix a scoop and a half in water.

Someone had mentioned muscle milk. Muscle milk tastes good, I'd recommend it for someone who has never used protein powder as a way to get used to it, and once you are used to using protein supplement, you should wean onto a better choice. Reason being, some of the muscle milk products have over 2 gm saturated fat, and you don't want that, especially if you mix it with milk, that could put you at almost 5 gm saturated fat if using 1%....if you do that everyday, it *could* be enough to stall weight loss, it really depends on the person. I know for a fact my body would not tolerate that.

Other good sources of protein are fat free cottage cheese, which is also a complete protein, which means it contains every amino acid your body needs for the day. Your body can make some aminos, but not all of them, and cottage cheese is a great way to get all of them. Fat free ricotta could also be an option, as well. I also eat Chobani brand greek yogurt,

Calories in Chobani Greek Yogurt - Non-fat Plain - Nutrition Facts, and Healthy Alternatives - The Daily Plate Calorie Counter

it has 18 gm of protein and only 7 gm of carbs, I have yet to find a yogurt to beat that ratio.

Good luck.

I gave up soy last year, and diet-wise it's been the best thing I did for my health. First off, my hypothyroidism is GONE (read up on the connection between soy and thyroid health). Second off, I used to have mad flatulence (sorry for sharing TMI), and now I barely get gas at all, and I eat plenty of regular beans. Try finding a hemp protein powder. It's much easier to digest and way better for you.
