I think there's some law of the universe concerning that. The more you wish for something to not happen, the more likely it is to happen. When my tail-light got cracked a little, I considered getting it replaced. But not getting it replaced seems to have kept my car safe from other damage.Originally Posted by itadakimasu

On XanBcoo's suggestion I got vanilla-flavored protein mix to add to my daily oatmeal. I've been on that program for almost 2 months, then the local store runs out of the protein mix I've been using.
So I try another protein mix and it's disgusting. Using the same prep method, the mix is grainy, lumpy, and flavorless and the oatmeal tastes horrible, almost worse than oatmeal by itself. I'm going to try a different method tomorrow but that's $36 bottle of protein mix I'll be throwing or giving away if this doesn't work out, not to mention my health program will be thrown off track without my daily oatmeal and protein.
Sigh, almost at the final days of the program and this happens.

That really sucks. I've run through about 5 different brands and mixes of protein powders before I found the ones that worked and tasted the best. What were you using before, and what are you eating now?
I've heard a lot of people recommend Optimum Nutrition's 100% Whey powder. That's what I'm eating now, and it tastes really good. It also mixes very easily, as opposed to the mass gainer which I was eating before (which felt like cake batter when it mixed).
The cheapest way to get the stuff online is from this site: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html. There's a store in Houston I go to which sells it for the same price, but buying it from GNC or from ON means you'll be paying $20 or so more for it.

I was using Weider Muscle Builder Advanced just by blind pick at the store, and I got lucky because it mixes very smooth and tastes great. The new supplement is Muscletech Nitro-Tech and it mixes up in hot water like cake batter too. I'm going to try cold water and blend it more thoroughly tomorrow, but the taste is hardly palatable either way.
I'm thinking of ordering online from bodybuilding.com, but I only have 21 days until I leave, and it takes 7 days to get anything out here, so I'd get maybe 14 days of use. Not sure if it's worth it. Sadly the selection we have available here is pretty limited so I might have to stick with the Nitro-tech crap, though it will mean giving up on the oatmeal plan. Can't stand the taste.

Hah, my brother uses Nitro-tech as well. He complained about how it was hard to mix too, but he never mentioned the taste.
If you really like eating oatmeal, you could always find another source of protein to eat with it. That, or just find some other combination of carbs and protein for breakfast, like egg whites and toast/bagels.

It's not so much that I like eating oatmeal, but my cholesterol is probably dangerously high, so I'm trying to eat right. Like you said before, oatmeal is almost a perfect food because it gives you protein as well as fiber and other nutrients while being low in the bad stuff. Unfortunately it tastes terrible, which was the original purpose of the protein mix. Kind of silly to pay $28/bag for what was essentially flavoring, but the added bonus of getting the protein supplement made it worth it.
The nitro-tech product and some other protein supplements I've seen have less sugar and therefore less taste. The Weider advanced is 180 cal/scoop compared to 110 for the nitro-tech stuff.
I eat eggs almost every breakfast, but it's a powered egg mix so it has protein but also cholesterol and whatever bad stuff is in egg yolks. Thanks for the advice and encouragement man, I really appreciate it.
