What protein powder would be best if these are the things I'm looking for; good tasting (chocolate preferably), makes you feel full, aids in weight loss, isn't expensive.
Bull **** none of them taste good. Definitely go for whey protein, as it is best utilized by your body. I order Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey, Chocolate Malt flavor from amazon, but have tried other (cheaper) brands that are ok.
Mix it in some almond milk, and it tastes just like a melty malt. Unbelievably good.
None. Protein powder has nothing to do with fat loss. If you want to lose fat, eat food. Don't get sucked into the Big Protein Scam by all bad information on the internet.
Here's why you should not use protein supplements.
• You don't need them.
Our species has survived for 150,000 generations without supplements. You grew from an infant to what you are today by eating food. There is absolutely no reason to take protein supplements if you have a normal diet. And, If you don't, fix the diet. If you take more protein than you body needs, the rest will be either excreted in urine, burned (metabolized), or used to synthesize fat.
• They are a poor source of nutrition
Protein supplements contain mostly protein and little else of value. Protein-bearing food contains a constellation of nutrients...vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and many more things your body can use to maintain itself. So, just adding one thing out of many to your diet is a bad nutritional deal for you. Food is the best nutritional bargain there is.
• Protein does not make muscles grow.
Exercise creates the stimulus for muscle growth. To turn that stimulation into growth, your body requires a host of nutrients including carbs, enzymes, amino acids, and more. Supplementing your diet with one thing but not others makes no sense at all and only proves that you are getting all you need from your food anyway.
• Protein is a diet killer and has the same calories as sugar.
Protein has the same caloric value as carbs or pure sugar (4 calories per gram). Protein can be as big a diet killer as sugary junk foods. There is no advantage to getting more protein than you need and here's how much you need --> http://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/everyone/basics/prote... according to the best minds in nutrition on the planet, the US CDC.
• Every US federal Health Agency warns against using supplements
Many tests of protein supplements have revealed contaminants such as heavy metals (cadmium, lead, arsenic, mercury), salmonella bacteria, and byproducts of pesticides, fertilizers, etc. In the US, there is no statutory requirement (law) that requires protein supplement makers to test their products. Watch this video from CBS news --> http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-500202_162-6537686.htm... and note that Muscle Milk was one of the products found to be contaminated.
• The world's top athletes don't use protein supplements. Why should you?

First off:
Nothing is good tasting.
All of them make you feel full
They don't make you lose weight as they help build muscle and muscle is heavier then fat.
They're all expensive unless you get something at Walmart=not bad quality but tastes like ****.
