What protein powders would be good for supplementing regular diet?

Jamie in hiding asked:
I don’t eat enough protein. I’m not particularly interested in eating more food. Any suggestions for getting more protein into my diet? Don’t tell me about food. I know food and nutrition. I would prefer brand name suggestions. Weight loss isn’t my main goal. But as a byproduct, that would be fine.

Thanks.

The best protein product Ive used is Gold Standard 100% whey…it sells for around 45 dollars which is expensive, but you get over 70 servings in it..One scoop provides 24 grams of protein

About the best tasting one I could find was the GNC vanilla brand:
It’s cheaper than most, and you can mix it with skim milk and the sweetener of your choice and it’s not bad, as far as supplements go. (I use this to get me back on track when I haven’t been watching my carbs and my blood sugar gets all flaky…My family has a history of Type 2 diabetes onset at age 40, so I keep a close eye most times…if I go on vacation or get lazy, I use the protein shake to help me get my carbs under control. )
It won’t help you lose weight unless you actually burn more calories, of course, but it’s high density protein and pretty low cal, so you don’t have take much out of your regular diet to compensate for it. I used it to prep for a PT test to help my muscles recover faster when I was in my more intense military schools.
For weight loss, if you’re working out at all, I would recommend upping your protein to 60% and lowering carbs to 30% (you need SOME carbs to regulate mood and brain function, as we know …XD..don’t want to get like you know who….) and keeping your calorie count (well, for you, because you’re a little thing) around 1400…I keep mine around 1600 and drop it to 1400 if I need to jump-start my program.)…if your walking or jogging consistently, that will strip the weight right off of you.
