Thanks Paradocs, Muscle milk was one of my favorites. Could you post this on PQ? A few people are counting proteins.

I don't have an account on PQ, but if you do, feel free to post it there yourself. Since I make no claim to have been involved in the study, I only saw the report, you don't have to credit me for posting it.

I had a chance to get to the library yesterday and read the CONSUMER REPORTS article. In addition to the information in the link above, the article suggests some better and cheaper ways to get protein. (I assume the prices were from the New York area where CONSUMER REPORTS is published and could vary from region to region and season to season.)

The comparison was 1 scoop of Nitro-Tech which they say has 25 grams of protein and cost $1.61

Half a chicken breast: 27 grams protein, 62 cents

Three 8-oz glasses of milk: 23 grams protein, 60 cents

Three scrambled eggs: 20 grams protein, 46 cents
(I bought a dozen eggs yesterday for $1.15 --slightly less than 10 cents each.)
