Re: Power Oatmeal Question

Try a Whey protein powder-it's easier to digest and beneficial for the immune

system. It also tastes less chalky than Soy protein and mixes well. :-)

I just purchased some OPTIMUM NUTRITION 100% NATURAL WHEY PROTEIN 5LB

CHOCOLATE that contains which has 5 carbs and 22 protein per serving.

I use designer protein 17g protein <2g carbs

the protein powder you have sounds quite balanced and could be used

as a meal replacement like myoplex rather than being a protein to add

to a carbohydrate like oatmeal.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I want to try the

one Andyman suggested as it has slightly more protein.

I do use the protein powder that I currently have as a

meal replacement.

http://nutritionmegastore.com sells the Optimum Nutrition Natural

Whey Chocolate protein I mentioned, 5 lbs for $23.00. They also have

the kind that is doesn't have the word Natural in it, but on

this list says the Natural is the best tasting.

The Natural kind has fructose in it which I imagine helps with the

taste and it is only 2.5 more carbs per serving than the other.

I found the nutrition info on Optimum's web site since Megastore

doesn't list it. Optimum sells it for $43.99 which is a lot more!

I use the protein powder made by PVL Nutrients. In a 1-scoop serving

of 21g, it has only 1.8g carbs.

I think I would get a protein powder with less carbs in it.

You will be getting to many carbs at this meal.

I use PVL Nutrients protein powder, which in 1 scoop (I forget the

total grams) has only 1.8g of carbs. It tastes fine, although you

may want to add some calorie-free/carb-free sweetener. The PVL price

is reasonable too.
