I feel i don't get enough protein in my diet. I would like to get it through supplements (preferably whey). My questions are: What are the best to get? how should i take it? When should i take it (before or after a workout)? Plus i keep hearing different amounts i should be taking in. 1 gram per pound of body weight, .08 grams and .06 per pound of body weight. Which one is the best.

I use GNC's 100% whey protein. Its cheap, does the trick and its 21 g protein servings. I try to have 1-2 a day. Helps me reach my quota of about 190-200 g protein a day. You can take it anytime of the day and shoot for drinking your shake right after a workout.
Protein shakes feel good right before bedtime.
1 gram per pound, .8, .6, 1.2, I have never seen any scientific proof that you need to eat any of those amounts. But from experience, eating 1.2 to 1.0 g during a bulking stage or 1-0.8 g in a cutting stage seems to work for me. All I can say is you should never be hungry.
I've tested myself. On a huge workout day, I ate anything I wanted when I was hungry. At the end of the day, I added up the protein amount. It was roughly my body weight in grams. Ur body is the thing to follow, not statistics. For example, sometimes I was hungry for protein, sometimes I was hungry for carbs or fat. The body is pretty smart in that way.
I kinda got off the beat and track. you want more protein in your diet? the protein shakes will help, here is a list of things to shoot for:
beef
cottage cheese
chicken
egg whites
rice & beans
tuna
also, I've tried those myoplex meal replacements. 42 g of protein along with some carbs. that **** is good.
Hope this helps!

i got a tub of GNC 100% whey protein for 10 dollars. If I remember correctly, its 40 cents a serving hehehehehe. If someone got better deals, plz tell me cause I'll buy that s.h.i.t.
by the way, anyone ever try those myoplex meal replacements? something like 42 g protein, 24 g carb? they are good, but really expensive.
