M2G 1,836 Posted January 9, 2011 No, I have never heard of it. I wonder how much Protein a body can absorb in one sitting...I've seen various responses to this question, but I don't have a clear idea of scientifically how much we can absorb in one meal. I mean based on one serving of that stuff having 60 grams of Protein, then you could eat that and be done for the day right? lol, not that I think that is a good plan, but I am curious about how much of that 60 grams can be absorbed at once. Sounds interesting though...did you order it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myrori 55 Posted January 9, 2011 very interesting,, anyone know what the taste is like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curtsj01 1 Posted January 9, 2011 I have not tried that. I get the EAS Myoplex 5lb bag with 23g Protein for $28.00 at Sam's Club. Best price by volume I have found and the chocolate tastes like Carnation Instant. Yummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M2G 1,836 Posted January 9, 2011 Heres the label http://www.bariatric...ults.asp?Cat=12 Ooooh, got it, thanks for posting. It takes 3 scoops to = 60 grams of Protein. That makes a little more sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feedyoureye 3,087 Posted January 9, 2011 Ooooh, got it, thanks for posting. It takes 3 scoops to = 60 grams of Protein. That makes a little more sense. 11 (60 gm protein) servings for $37 plus $12-15 shipping to my place in CA... pretty steep.... around $4+ a serving. I guess it might be worth it if you could get it down for the first week and a half when its nearly impossible to get enough protein.... it says a full serving goes in a cup of milk or Water, a half serving goes in a half glass of milk or Water. I wonder how thick it would be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Was a humpty dumpty 35 Posted January 9, 2011 At first I am thinking $4 a serving wow, but oh yeah how many times I have bought something unhealthy and not thought twice about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lunarose 97 Posted January 10, 2011 I haven't tried this one. For pre-op it should be okay but I suspect it might be too heavy for early post op. It also is kind of high in calories if you mix it with skin milk it will come to around 450 for a full serving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
