* '''Whey powder''' is the most common form of protein powder. It is quickly absorbed and reasonably cheap, but watch out for [[Protein Powder Contamination|contamination]]. I use Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey.
** '''Quantities'''. I normally only add a single scoop of whey regardless of my mileage, relying on Casein and the milk for the protein.
* '''[http://go.fellrnr.com?id=35454X937677&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FOptimum-Nutrition-Protein-Chocolate-Supreme%2Fdp%2FB002DYJ0M0 Casein]''' powder is more slowly absorbed than whey protein, helping to keep your protein balance even. Casein is also thicker and richer than whey protein, giving the GOMAD mixture a better texture. The downside to casein is that it is more expensive than whey.
** '''Quantities'''. I use 2-3 scoops of I use Optimum Nutrition 100% Casein.
* '''Metamucil'''. Fiber is important for digestive health, and without sufficient fiber the GOMAD mixture is likely to cause constipation. The fiber also slows absorption, making you feel full for longer. When Metamucil is given time to absorb liquid, it acts as a thickening agent, improving the texture of the drink.
