Try bodybuilding.com. They usually have some pretty good deals on high quality products.

I really like the price Trader Joe's charges for the Met-RX product, just unsure what comprises a quality product. So far all I can seem to find information on is how bad, or good, something tastes, though I will keep looking for information.

1) The nutritional profile you need; and

2) Ingredients you are comfortable with.

It may be that no one has done the analysis you're looking for. I'd google each ingredient and see if you're comfortable ingesting that ingredient.

I use the Trader Joe's brand after my hard trainer sessions. The Met-RX has sucralose which makes me ill, so I'd never use it. I mix the TJ's with 1.5 cups 2 % milk and it's my first breakfast on trainer days. I can't eat before I workout at 5 AM. This set up gives me pretty much a 1:1 ratio of carbs to protein and I need the carbs before I head to work. I drink it in the car on the way home. It's in an insulated SS bottle, stays pretty cold with three ice cubes.

I have a second breakfast about an hour later.

The Met-RX when mixed with water has pretty close to a 1:5 carbs to protein ratio. I'd think about how is that going to fit in your day. Do you need more carbs at that point as well or just the protein hit.

I've not used protein powder before so wasn't really sure how to best approach selecting one. Back when I started my weight loss journey 3 years ago I did use Myoplex for breakfast every day for a few months - but that was for another reason.

I am able to have breakfast before my 6am workout but I really need that protein hit afterwards. I will continue to do a bit of research, thanks for giving me some ideas of what to look for!

Ive had good luck with the Vitamin Shops house brand. It has sucralose in the flavored ones. Next time I'm just getting the plain one. My stomach is sensitive but this one works good for me.

The important part is that protein needs to come from whey - it is the most bioavailable protein that your body can absorb quickly. Cheaper brands get protein from soy.
