Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I have a protein powder that I think is excellent. I can buy it local for $19.99 for 2 lb container. I think it tastes great and I'm fairly picky about such things. I've found some to be so bad that I've thrown the container out rather than choke them down. Granted, I always mix it with soy milk so I can't say for sure what it would taste like with water, if that's what you're doing. Anyway, the kind I use is SciTec Advanced Whey Complex and it's 100 cal, 20 g protein and 2 g carb per serving. You can find it online but it costs more than our local store sells it for. All I've tried so far is vanilla but I'm getting a chocolate too next time. I usually vary my flavors with the flavored soy milk. _________________ " Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult. " -Charlotte Whitton- protein problem from what i've figured out...i need about 20g of protein per meal. i'm having a huge problem with that. first of all...i like eggs, but i'm getting really sick of them. 2nd of all, protein powders make me gag. 3rd...i wasn't hungry at 10 today so i skipped that meal, and that do that often b/c i'm just not hungry (skip the 9- 10:00 meal at night the most). so how am i suppose to get in all this protein??? it just makes me feel so weighed down.

Other Protein sources: Cottage cheese lf string cheese chicken turkey lean red meat pork tenderlion Protein pancakes What are you eating for your entire meal that is making you full? I think eating every 3 hours is best so what I would do is cut down on my prior meal in both carbs and protein, keeping the ratios the same.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Have you tried Designer Whey protein? I don't care for many of the powders out there and I really like it. I take the vanilla flavor, put it in a blender with water and ice, throw in 1/2 banana, a little bit of pineapple, and some coconut extract. It's a GREAT shake in the summer..kind of like a pina colada without the alcohol! I've gotten pretty creative with my protein shakes because I get sick of the same thing over and over. Experiment with different brands and flavors...you will find one you like, promise!!! It makes getting in that protein a LOT easier!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 " from what i've figured out...i need about 20g of protein per meal. " Hmmm I often wonder where people get these numbers? BFL nutrition for life actually calls for 6 meals a day, comprised of a fist size portion of carbs and a palm size portion of protien. There are no gram measurements. Some meals I get 16g of protien while others I get 20g, the only concern I have is that I don't eat more then 16g of carbs with my 16g of protien or 20g of carbs with my 20g of protien. I think the focus here should be on getting that balance between carbs and protien. " it just makes me feel so weighed down. " Are you as diligent about your carb portions? I find certain carbs make me feel bloated and yucky. Try low fat cottage cheese for protien, 1/2 cup is about 100 cal and 16g of protien. I generally eat this with a serving of fresh fruit. Tuna is a great low fat protien source. Chicken breasts. Deli meats will do in a pinch but they are high in sodium so use sparingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
