As expected, whey protein supplements don't taste good, especially not in water, and not in whole milk. Today I tried mixing it in almond milk, and that was awesome. It still isn't a taste to be craved, but it isn't as bitter as the taste of the protein in water and not as overpowering as the taste in regular milk. Almond milk is low in calories, carbohydrates and unfortunately, also protein. It contains 40 calories, 3 grams of fat, 2 grams of carbs, and 1 gram of protein. Once I finish off the almond milk, I am going to give soy milk a try. It contains 80 calories, 4 grams of fat, 4 grams of carbohydrates and 7 grams of protein. It is a little heavier than the almond milk, but I believe that the addition of the soy protein may be beneficial. Now that I have had time to adjust to taking in less calories per day, I am no longer having any issues staying under my limits for the day, so the excess 40 calories would hardly be noticed, if anything, they would be welcomed muscle fuel.
Hey ya, I'm not sure how useful this will be to ya, but I though I'd pass it along anyway. Ya might wanna try this stuff. It's healthy and it's cheap. It also cooks up faster than chicken and taste just like it. I'm by no means a vegetarian, but this has replaced chicken almost completely for us.

I don't think I'm ready for fake chicken just yet, but I will keep it in mind as I progress into this.
I'm tellin ya, you wouldn't know the difference. It taste great! This past new year we served it to family in taco bites, they didn't even believe us when we told them what it was. Be brave, give it a try ;-)
