A member asked:
Which protein bar/shake is appropriate for my 15 yr old son?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protein: Protein is important in muscle building in a young teen ager. It is best to make ones own protein shakes which contain skim milk, yogurt, eggs, fruit and nut butter if you wish . This way you know what your child is getting, rather than many commercial preparation that can contain more carbs than protein.
