We’ve all been there, 2 a.m. and craving something sweet, something savory,

anything to munch on for a midnight snack. We all know it’s not good to eat so late at

nigh, but what many people don’t know are the ways to suppress hunger pangs with a

healthier, less filling alternative: protein. Or even healthier still, whey protein.

Protein is the nutrient that tells the brain you've had enough to eat, said Dr. Michael

Tamber, an endocrinologist at The Everett Clinic.

Some protein-rich shakes can even help you lose weight when used as meal

replacements, but many are laden with calories and sugar.

The ideal protein shake contains between 100 and 150 calories, at least 10 grams of

protein and no more than 2 grams of fat, he said.

Sugar should be low, which he defined as less than a few grams. Artificial sweeteners and

sugar alcohols used for flavorings, such as sorbitol, are both fine.

Comparing the most popular protein shakes, it seems Designer Whey protein products,

are the best overall for taste, nutritional value, and cost.

Sold at GNC stories, Designer Whey protein powder is marketed to athletes who want to

gain lean mass and lose fat. It comes in a mammoth 2.1-pound container. Because it's 97

percent lactose-free, it's suitable for most people with lactose intolerance. It mixes easily

with a spoon; no blender is needed, according to the directions.

Nutrition: The product contains 100 calories, 2 grams of fat, no fiber and 18 grams of

protein per serving when mixed as directed.

Flavors: The product comes in chocolate and French vanilla.

Cost: $34.99 for a 2.1-pound container; 87 cents a serving.

Taste: Designer Whey tastes like a glass of not-too-sweet chocolate milk.

What the doctor says: It's low in calories, fat and sugar, and almost entirely made up of

protein. This product would work as a meal replacement. Research keeps proving the

benefits of whey protein in sports performance, muscle recovery, digestion and weight

control.
