Re: Protein Powder & shakes

[Guest guest]

What are the specifications for your brand of whey? Every package is

different.

You're aiming for approximately 20-25 grams of protein at each meal,

20-25 grams of carb at each meal, and 4-5 grams of fat.

Hope this helps-

Hi n,

Well I'm not sure because I buy my pp from my local health food who

package it themselves. Unfortunately, there is no nutritional

information on the packets and containers. It just says 100% pure

whey protein isolate. That's it. :/

Hi Dea

I'm sure if you call the local health food store, they'll be able to

tell you the nutritional specifications. Or the official brand name

of the product, so you can search on the web and get the

stats. Otherwise, there's no way to know how much to use for a

serving, or what the contents are...

100% whey protein isolate can have varying grams of carbs per

serving, which will determine what you can (or cannot) add to the

shake (fruit, yogurt, etc).

In other words, we cannot tell you how much to use without knowing

the specifics.

Thanks Lindsey and n

I had to buy some more protein powder today so I decided to try

another type which is by a company called Morlife. It says on the

front 100% pure whey protein concentrate. Suggested use: 3-8

teapoons. Then in the nutritional information it says serving size

2.5g = 1 tsp.

Protein per serving = 2.0g. So do you guys think that I would need

to be taking closer to 8 tsps per meal? I'm starting to think that

maybe I wasn't taking enough before.

Dea -

Where are you located? Are you in Australia?

n

PS - I'm not sure how helpful I can be with this. I don't use

protein powder at all anymore....

But yes, if the package says that there are 2 grams of protein per

serving, and a serving is designated as 1 tsp, then you need closer

to 10 tsp per meal.

Each gram of protein has 4 calories, and you're looking to have about

100 calories of protein per meal

Each gram of carb has 4 calories and you're looking to have about 100

calories of carb per meal

Each gram of fat has 9 calories and you're looking to have 30-50

calories of fat per meal.

Yeah n, I'm an Aussie girl

Thanks again for your invaluable help. I'm a bit disappointed that I

didn't ask about this earlier. The whole time I've been doing the

program I have only been taking a couple of teaspoons per meal. :/ I

checked the nutritional information for the protein powder I was

previously using whilst in the store today, and it looked fairly

similar to this brand. Oh well, that sux but it's good to have found

out now.. many thanks n.

Just make sure you're not confusing teaspoons with tablespoons. A

teaspoon is very small--it takes 3 teaspoons to make a tablespoon. I've

seen the following abbreviations used in cookbooks:

Tablespoon: T, Tblsp, tblsp

Teaspoon: t, tsp,

Note the difference in the capital or lowercase " T " .

Sounds like you need about 10 tsp =3 tablespoons +1 tsp. A little easier to

measure, but that way you're getting 20 grams of protein for a meal. Personally

I use enough protein powder to equal 24 grams in my shakes.

beth

Hopefully, everything should be alright now. No wonder I had no idea

what everyone was talking about when they said they hated the taste

of it. I'm sure breakfast in a few minutes will be rather

interesting

BTW, there's a vast difference between the different protein powders. If you

don't like one, be sure to try another. I recently returned a giant 5-lb. bag

to Costco (giant warehouse store) because I could not swallow even one sip of

their powder. The smell made me gag. Then I found one at Trader Joes' that

actually tastes like chocolate milk. : )

Beautiful! I will have to try and make that a stop on my next Sydney -

QLD or return drive!

I'm in Melbourne and discovered BFL probably dead on 12 months ago.

Hi Guys,

I'm an Aussie, from Perth. My in-laws used to live in Lismore so

I've been to Ballina a few times. I'm off to Melbourne for work

this weekend.

I'm a lurker trying to start a new challenge as of yesterday (ie day

2).

You really need to come back and pull the email and any reply emails

(including this one!!!) that contain your phone number from the

website. These sites are spidered by spammers and you dont want some

creep getting your personal information. Please play safe!
