what is the best protein shake?



Recommended Posts

Currently I am using Body Fortress whey Protein Shake it has 30g of Protein which I like, but it has 170 calories per serving and thats before adding skim milk. Are there alternative Protein Drinks with less calories but near the same protein? I have to keep my daily calorie intake of 600 and sometimes its hard to do. Thanks.

Premier Protein is great. It's ready to drink. It's sold at Sams and costco. It has 30 grams of Protein and is 160 calories. Since it's ready to drink that's the total calories unlike in a powder where you also have to add the calories of what you mix with it.

About Time has 24 grams of Protein (or 25 depending on the flavor) for 100 calories, so you could get your 30 grams of protein by using 125 calories worth of Protein Powder.< /p>

Disclaimer - I don't think this is the best tasting protein out there. Definitely buy a sample or trial pack before committing to a tub. Lots of people love it, but lots of people hate it, too.

You could also try mixing your protein drinks with something less caloric.

Skim milk = 90 calories, 12 g carbs, 8 g protein

Hood Calorie Countdown Nonfat Milk = 35 calories, 4 g carbs, 6 g protein

Carbmaster vanilla Reduced Sugar Milk = 60 calories, 3 g carbs, 11 g protein

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
