Just thought I'd post a personal update here.

Trying to get recommended protein through diet alone, but really difficult. I usually don't eat that much. So I ventured into trying whey protein drinks.

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard-I like the vanilla taste alot. But half the time it gives me major bowel problems.
Dymatize ISO 100- chocolate. Also like the taste, but seems to be easier on the gut, although small sample size.

Gatoraide Protein bars-like a giant Snickers. Very high in calories and fat. Too much, could hardly finish.
Go Macro Bars- I really like these. Half the protein of others though. But also half the calories. I use these on rides, when I can find them. Mostly just at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, neither of which are on our weekly grocery rotation.

What I really need to figure out is how to get more protein at breakfast.
