Protein option

[LisaLP 19]

I have been struggling to get in more than one 30-gram-protein shake in addition to my Water. I was sleeved 3/1. Today at Wal-Mart, I was looking in the Protein section and my son pointed out these little vial a. It's New Whey brand Liquid Protein, and has 42 g of protein (no caffeine or anything), and 180 calories in 3.8 oz. They're about $2.60 each. I bought a 6-pack of grape for about $14. It tastes like crap, but it's only 3.8 ounces, so I'm going with it. I saw some yummy-looking Protein Bars and I can't wait to get to the stage where I can eat them instead of drinking shakes or whatever. Thought this might help if anyone else is struggling to get protein in on top of water.

Good info. I'll try the little vials and see how it goes. Thanks.

Good info. I do remember my nutritionist saying our bodies can't digest more than 30 grams of Protein at one meal, so it might be a good idea to split it into 2 shots!

I've also found that if I mix in a tablespoon of SF pudding powder or SF flavored coffee creamer into my Protein Shakes it cuts the whey after taste.

I wondered about that, Kimpossible, so today I'm just taking a few drinks here and there throughout the day. So happy not to have to drink a shake today!
