People usually recommend any cardio either in the morning (empty stomach or minimal food) or 8 hrs away from any training you do, OR after training. The idea being that you've used your available glycogen to fuel a solid and intense lifting session, and then you cruise on whatever's left over w/ cardio afterwards and leverage the burn rate that has been put in place from the lifting.
Everyone has their own protein favorites - Muscle Milk, IMO and in most people's opinion, tastes great but its loaded w/ filler and excess calories that you don't need unless you're bulking. Personally I like AllTheWhey.com. I've also tried TrueProtein.com. I also like Optimum Nutrition (all are reasonably priced) but they stopped selling it anywhere near me (used to be able to get it at Costco), so I switched to ATW. For both ATW and TP, you can do a search on google and find discount codes for around 5-10% off or free shipping.
RE: chins & pullups - if you like doing them, do them. THey have a place in a back/bicep day. I'd just say include them as legit exercises and dont' throw them on top of your existing B/B day.
