Best meal Replacement for the Buck ?

klb331 Posts: 8 Joined: 2002/05/20	2002/05/21, 02:15 PM I'm sure this is question asked many times but... I'm currently using Myoplex as a meal replacement, extra protein source. What is (in your opinions) the best meal replacement (with something in it more then just a pile of protein) type protein drink for the dollar out there? (I'm in the US) My main goal is to gain lean muscle but I'm not on a fast gain program. Thanks!

I am trying to put on serious mass though. I'm not sure that it would be best for you, but Nlarge by prolab is what I use. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked.

You can add dehydrated milk powder to the milk to give it more kick and it won't increade the overall volume. I also like Slim Fast shakes. They are very inexpensive per 6 pack, and on their own or with a scoop of whey protein powder, they are great for supplementing you meals or in place of one.

Fireb17 Posts: 19 Joined: 2004/03/10	2004/03/17, 01:41 PM is it true that your body can only hold about 34 grams of pure protein at one time? I heard this from a macro-biology professor during a lectur in class the other day...if this is right then all these supplements with over that amount are just becoming added waste.
