KingOxNyc 22 Posted March 27, 2012 I've been using this and it's pretty damn good !! Not chalky or has that nasty after taste http://m.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3509954 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PdxMan 4,292 Posted March 27, 2012 Looks like some good stuff. Just make sure you are taking the correct amount for your purposes. According to the nutritional information, 3 scoops is 79 grams which contains 60 grams of Protein. Unless you are doing some serious weight lifting, your body cannot process that amount like you may be wanting. You cannot make a shake with three scoops and believe you have satisfied your WLS Protein requirements for the day. There are a lot of articles out in the Googleverse that talk about the max amount of protein your body can actually absorb in a single sitting. It varies based on your activity level, but you will see 30 grams as an average. Depending on your story, your requirements may be higher or lower than 30, but as I mentioned, to be able to absorb 60, you have to be a serious lifter requiring serious muscle repair. 1 oneproudpappa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Artichokes 42 Posted March 31, 2012 I like getting recommendations on Protein powders....why does this one say to discontinue 2 weeks prior to surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
