619Raf 111 Posted January 25, 2015 I am having so much trouble reaching my Protein goal, that I feel like hungry ???? I can drink Water all day but the protein I just can't do anymore. Feeling discouraged, because I can't even tell if it's head hunger or am I really hungry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

momoftwins+1 18 Posted January 25, 2015 619raf... Im in the same boat.. I keep trying different Protein Drinks and powders and my stomach just cant take them anymore.. Everything,is so gross and i wanna throw up. Im not,getting anywhere near my 60 grams of protein... I might get like 15 to 20 grams in.... As soon as i can eat meat tho, i think i will be fine. But these drinks are so gross to me now.. Ughhh its so annoying, and i dont feel like wasting more money on the Protein Shakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ughhh its so annoying, and i dont feel like wasting more money on the Protein Shakes.< /p> I agree I don't want to spend anymore money, but I can't start eating meat till February 5. Meanwhile I can tolerate eggs and the Beans but I know that is not enough Protein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jenngf5 95 Posted January 25, 2015 I switched to whey tech banana creme flavor made w 1/2 c Water then put in freezer for a few to get icy cold. 24 grams per scoop. I simply can't handle the milk. For other liquids I like the progressive light Tomato basil blended to liquify and only just warmed. Also creme of chicken made w water. I also do white tea and slushy iced tea. Two days in a row I've reached Protein goal thankfully. Isopure unflavored is good mixed in broth but I was sick of broth. Not too thick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
