Dymatize, Rivalus, and Revolution Isolates are all lactose free and pretty much available at any supplement store or online store. Most isolates are very low on lactose, but those 3 are 100% lactose free. It is the concentrates that have higher levels of lactose and cause the stomach issues- and unfortunately, the concentrates typically taste way better.

The purpose of the chicken is to keep calories down in the meal. The fact of the matter is that unless you are competing for Mr. O, you probably don't need more protein than a balanced diet will give you.
You can use shakes for meal replacement if time is an issue, but you're much better off making larger portions and then freezing.
As far as costs goes, once you add all the fruit, oats, etc.. to the protein shake, to turn it into a true meal replacement (400+ calories) you aren't really saving anything.
This is coming from someone who used to buy into the whole protein supplement thing and would order crates of the stuff from bodybuilding.com.
