From OTR ( one of the mods) he reply to my questions about pdcaaas there:

"Sounds like a misunderstanding of the PDCAAS scoring model. The PDCAAS doesn't go from 1-100, it from 0.00-1.00. Looking at the ingredients of a premier shake, it is all milk based Proteins which score 1.0- the best score available.

I typically say that premier is a "good alternative" if you cannot tolerate pure whey Protein isolate or I'd you need the convenience.

The downside to Premier shakes is that they are mostly milk based rather than whey. Meaning they do contain much of the impurities found in milk and are not a good option for the lactose intolerant. Keep in mind that immediately after surgery we are much more likely to develop a lactose intolerance. Therefore I recommend them as a convenience but not as a regular "go to" Protein source.". OTR

Has anyone heard of "Body by Vi" or "visalus" Protein Powder?

[Tink22-sleeve 528]

thanks kapoovilla for clearing that up.

Body by Vi and visalus Protein powders are soy.

here is a link for a comparison between whey and soy Protein powders and the pdcaaas scores. hope this is helpful.

So true...

I drink unjury and premiere Protein. I mix it up a bit between the 2. I love the unflavoured Protein from UNjury! I make my SF cheese cake pudding with it!

I still struggle to get all my protein in daily. But I am trying!

[kortolano 100]

Thanks for all the input. I have such a hard timw with the shakes they make me sick to the stomach. I add the unflavored powder to everything but one teaspoon or tablespoon isnt that much Protein. I am hoping now that i start the pureed phase it will be easier.

U must be a carb angel! 2-4g of carb for 15-17 Protein doesn't seem bad to me as a supplement, not a Meal Replacement. I get 80-100g protein daily and half of that in carbs daily.
