VSGayle 33 Posted May 23, 2013 I just tried the Premium Protein...I liked it But am going to try the GNC's AMP WHeybolic Extreme 60 chocolate since it was rated so highly on here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kulita 243 Posted May 23, 2013 Something to think of is that even though some shakes may be 30-46gm of Protein per serving, sometimes these servings call for 12-16 oz prepared. This is quite a lot to drink in the beginning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chas74 56 Posted May 23, 2013 Never heard that bout body not processing more than 30 g at a time but Chike brand is the best ive found plus can be used as a Meal Replacement and is low carb. Www.chikenutrician.com, they have sample pk Sent from my iPhone using VST 1 serenity1959 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chas74 56 Posted May 23, 2013 46 g is a lot of Protein to consume in a single serving. The body usually cannot process more an 30 g in a sitting where the remainder is converted to fat or passes through. Do you know anything special about the Chike Protein shake that would make it easier to process more than 30 g in a sitting? banana flavor sounds awesome. I love banana creme flavor. Each 8oz serving of our Meal Replacement is fortified with 28 grams of medical-grade whey protein, complex carbohydrates, dietary Fiber, essential fatty acids, and 23 Vitamins and minerals. It can be used as a healthy alternative to Breakfast, a midday snack, or a smart way to indulge a late-night craving. This also makes it an ideal pre-operative weight loss shake or post-operative meal replacement for weight loss surgery patients. Add 2 scoops for 46 g of protein Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brandnew 72 Posted May 27, 2013 I have the vanilla and its absolutely delicious! ! Sometimes I add PB2 just to switch it up Just wondering how many scoops are you using in how many ounces of Water for the GNC brand to taste good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted May 27, 2013 I think it tastes fine with 1 scoop, but that is just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted May 27, 2013 It might be 8 oz or 10 oz of Water, whatever suits you. Adding gelled chia seeds really brings out the flavor and taste, even when using only 1 scoop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted May 27, 2013 Really???? Good to know Fiddleman iv been using 3 scoops to 12 oz!! Thanks for the info No problem. 3 scoops is 60 g of Protein for the GNC shakes. It is definitely over kill to try and consume 60 g of Protein as here is how it breaks down : 1. 15-20 g protein, average amount for average adult to consume. 2. 20-25 g protein, average amount for WLS adult to consume. 3. 25-30 g protein, average amount for athletic adult to consume Adults typically cannot process more then the upper values on these ranges above. Eating more will result in storage of protein or elimination, neither which are ideal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Globetrotter 1,340 Posted May 28, 2013 A friend just sent me some Proasis Protein bullets in the mail, they are casein, whey, and collagenic protein isolate, so 2 goods and 1 useless. 50g protein each. Opinions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted May 28, 2013 Most collagen is considered useless, but not all. Please consider the following research on hydrolyzed collagen: http://m.obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/3502429/PROTEIN-BULLET-CONTROVERSY/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
