Is there a post that lists the protein shakes? I heard RTD is good, but have not tried it yet

No that was in an IM conversation that we had. I have read a number of studies that show that whey protein shakes (not the Met-Rx RTD brand that I thin k you are referring to- those are made of casein protein, not whey) are most effective when taken 30 minutes after a workout. You have just caused minute tears in your muscle tissue, and the increased amino acid concentration in your blood stream is used at that time to build bigger better ones.
I use them to supplement my diet and get more protein (I go for 120-130g of protein per day and really, I can only eat so much chicken!).
When I get home I will post a great article I found online about different kinds of protein and how your body uses them.
