Every doctor's guidelines may be different but the one I was given was at least 15g Protein and less than 5g of sugar per serving.

Every Surgeon and NUT will have their own recommendations, but I would definitely do some research as not all Protein powders are created equal. A lot of the *good* brands that truly believe in their products will offer sample sizes either for free or a small fee. This will give you the opportunity to find what you like without having to buy a 2lb tub of each.

There are some Proteins that are much *cleaner* than others out there so pay attention to ingredient lists. Less is always better. My big things (recommended from my NUT) are to keep the carbs/sugars under ~5g per serving and the Protein at or over ~20g per serving.

I've tried several brand but have settled on a couple different brands, depending on the delivery method I'm using. Quest is what I use for flavored and non-flavored powder. The flavors are very good IMM, the powder is very fine so the shakes are not "gritty", and the unflavored is wonderful for cooking. For liquid Proteins, I buy About TIme Pro Hydrate. About TIme drinks have over 20g per bottle (20oz).

A good resource is a site called labdoor. They independently test all kinds of supplements for purity, label accuracy, heavy metals, ingredient safety and efficacy. It's really help me choose better supplements including protein powders.< /p>

Just go to https://labdoor.com and click on view rankings, then check out what you're interested in reviewing. What I do when I find something that I *think* is good is then take that question to my NUT and get confirmation on the product from a professional. It's been a really great resource for me.

Best of luck!
