    Whey isolate. No lactose. My protein.com or that gold standard stuff

    Meat (grass fed preferably), Eggs, Fish (wild salmon, Tuna), Nuts (almonds), Raw dairy, whey isolate - there's other non dairy protein powders

    Also you can get lactose free milk or you can make you own (half the price per litre this way) by adding Colief baby medicine or any other lactase enzymes!

    Out of curiosity is there a reason why wild salmon is preferred. Is the commercially farmed stuff terrible?

    I thought that because of conservation and severe restrictions on commercial fishing of wild salmon in Ireland that it's pretty difficult (expensive) to get a hold of it! That is of course if you don't catch it yourself?

    I'm not gonna go looking for it but as far as I remember there were studies done into it & farmed salmon had up 10x the amount of chemicals/contaminants then wild salmon so it's a far better (pricier) option! Farmed Salmon is grand in moderation if you cant afford the expensive stuff!

    Thanks. I suppose it is obvious when you can taste the difference between the wild and the farmed salmon.

    thanks for the advice. I'm on the tuna,almonds and red meat, But I feel I am missing out on the Dairy as its great to be able to drink a couple of pints of milk during the day, and I'd rather not be replacing the pints of milk with pints of protein shakes. will give the lactose milk a go.
