Keep your eye out while reading the ingredients!! Protein powders are FULL of shit that you do not want to be eating. Cheap artificial sugars (I refuse to eat any artificial sugars at all), artificial colors, high fructose corn syrup. All that stuff is horrible!

I actually found some stuff by Interactive Nutrition that is like 95% pure protein from Whey, it has no extra garbage in it, but also no flavour. I put a scoop or two of these into shakes 1-2 times a day. For extra calories I throw fruit, hemp seed, yogurt, and other such items in the shakes to go with them.

And apparently if you want to gain some muscle you should be eating 1g of protein for every lb you weigh.

Shakes are where it is at if you want more calories. It is really easy to have 50 grams of protein and like 500 calories in 1 shake and be able to drink it down like nothing, add one of those a day to your normal eating patterns and that is some serious additional calories!
