Recommend a protein supplement?

thanks CrazyJames, much appreciated.

could you recommend a brand of whey protein while we are at it? price is a concern. reason I am bothering people on this forum about it is that I somehow trust people here a bit more than on the weight lifter forums I've visited recently.

yeah, and i promise to everyone else to keep munching away at plenty of the usual healthy stuff.

oh, and how much did you weigh at the time when you had 220 - 280 g protein a day CrazyJames? just thinking in terms of relativity like.

I was about 17 stone 8 with visible abs, not proper proper ripped, but ok, I was about 18-20% bodyfat I think.

Personally if you want cheap and cheerful ON whey was half decent and didn't upset my stomach, AST vp2 whey protein isolate is one of the best, its nearly twice as expensive as ON whey but you get what you pay for: http://www.discount-supplements.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=7009 you have to be careful with whey proteins though, as pistaboy said there is a lot of shit out there, and the crap ones will upset your stomach a bit. Once again though just to emphasise, the bulk of my carb/protein intake came from food, there is no substitute, but whey protein is helpful for those moment when you just can't eat anymore!
