Beck90 189 Posted June 4, 2016 Well you all know it.. the struggle of getting in enough oz of liquid during the liquid post opp phase.. I've finally made it there and I'm living on tangerine and strawberry flavored Outshine no sugar added popsicles. I LOVE them.. the problem is.. I can't figure out how many ounces of Fluid they are.. i'm eating the ones that are single bars (as opposed to a double bar with two popsicle sticks) can anyone help? What ounces did you count these as... ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kindle 8,667 Posted June 5, 2016 They should have the oz on the label, but if not, let one melt and then pour it into a measuring cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kindle 8,667 Posted June 5, 2016 My nutritionist told me the single sugar free pops counted as one ounce and a half Wow, that's not much. You'd need to eat 45 of them / day to meet Fluid goals and that would also be 1125 calories of just carbs, no Protein whatsoever. I actually made my own popscicles by freezing Protein drinks in silicone molds. Two birds with one stone.....fluids and Protein (and no carbs) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually made my own popscicles by freezing Protein drinks in silicone molds. Two birds with one stone.....fluids and protein (and no carbs) they are not meant to meet all your fluid goals. there are times in the first week or two when a Popsicle is just what is needed. I have one every now and then at this point to scratch my ice cream itch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KristenLe 5,979 Posted June 5, 2016 @@Beck90 I love them too. I don't think the small amount of fluids they provide make much difference but they are good. I just bought Zipsicles to make my own with a little less sugar/carbs. https://zipzicles.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kindle 8,667 Posted June 5, 2016 people aren't eating them to meet their Fluid goals, just as a sweet treat. Actually the OP stated she is finally getting enough fluids by "living on strawberry and tangerine outshine no sugar added popscicles". Since 1 1/2 ounces barely makes a dent in the 64oz we should be getting I'm assuming she's eating a LOT of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since 1 1/2 ounces barely makes a dent in the 64oz we should be getting I'm assuming she's eating a LOT of them. "living on" something is generally an expression. It doesn't necessarily mean she's eating a dozen of them a day. I was "living on" popcicles too and I was eating two a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beck90 189 Posted June 5, 2016 Living on was just the casual expression lol I'm meeting my Fluid goals with Protein shakes, Soups, and other full liquids. I just mean I'm eating a lot more popsicles than I ever have in my life.. just like I'm also eating a lot more Jello etc than I have in my life. I've been using a lot of things to meet my fluid goals (yes flavored Water types as well) not just popsicles! lol I just figured if I was going to eat them and I could count them for anything I might as well XD an ounce and a half isn't much but hey.. it's something I suppose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
