Depends on goals: Depending of what your work out goals are, you should ingest anywhere from 0.5-1.2 grams of protein per 2.2 pounds of your target body weight per day. So for a 180 pound male, using 0.8 as your protein ratio, you should ingest about 72 grams of protein a day. The best brand minimizes the amount of carbohydrate filler and is a whey protein isolate, not a concentrate. Shop around.

Costco!: Costco has a 30g protein shake, one carb, 1 gr fat, 3 gr fiber-12oz premixed! best I have found. Protein is all milk protein derived and not soy! best i've found! $1.10/shake!
