What the heck is "Designer Whey" ? There ain't no "way" anything with the word "whey" in it can be good.

You must be jesting.

It's good stuff.  And if you like, add it to your coffee.  Add more sugar, or add a little bit of ice cream.    ;)

Ok, it's the word "chocolate" on the bottle that could make me try it!

Here is a link from Zach about the importance of protein:

I would recommend most people use some form of supplement. I take muscle milk on dialysis days.

Ah yes..... when I first got really sick, my appetite got less'n'less and the taste buds went haywire!!! By the time I started P.D.,
I could only drink 'flavored tea' - you know those teas with no actual tea in, cherry flavor or ginger & lime or whatever. Went thru a
 phase of drinking soy milk, as I couldn't touch the cow (or goat) variety. I'd always been such a dairy-lover!!!!
I had to get protein drinks off the dietician, as I had dropped many days below 1000cals !! I couldnt stand soft drinks even, except for "V" & ginger ale.  :(
....once P.D. got going, my appetite improved, a bit. But I gained weight mostly from the glucose in the bags!!! Blew out to 142kg
(er....x 2.2.....300lbs for you yanks & other non-metric folk). Even after starting Haemo, I still got  "morning sickness" most days, often a couple of times. But my weight went down (now 120kg) & my appetite got better.
  Anyway...after a year of haemo, including 8 months of nocturnal, until I lost the fistula, I've reduced the morning sickness to minimal, eat more or less all my old favorites (altho being currently back on in-center, I now have to limit some of them) & can
drink anything I used to & enjoy it.    :beer1;    :wine;    altho not beer, obviously, as one ain't enough!! & 2's your daily allowance gone!  ::)
  The chicken thing mentioned earlier could well be because he didin't like bland old chicken when his appetite was good, but now he needs the protein, but can't face the stronger-tasting meats! ?  ;)
