protein bullets

[skhopp 0]

Has anyone else been told not to use the Protein bullets as a way to get your protein in because it is not easily digested??

I haven't heard that. I use them all the time.

thanks for your reply. I know every clinic is different in their likes and dislikes. I just hate it when I don't know if it is truly something the surgeon discourages (I don't get to talk to him - haven't seen or talked to him in 1 1/2 years-since surgery)or if it's something the dietician doesn't like. I know they don't want you getting your entire daily Protein from these; they'd rather you get it from solid food; however, that doesn't always happen. Do you use them every day, or just occassionally? Where do you get yours? thanks

What are the bullets

[Emily'sDad 0]

Bullets are 3oz of concentrated Protein drink. for those of us that don't care to drink a big glass of nasy milk shake, the bullets are perfect.

I get NewWhey from GNC if I have to buy them locally otherwise I prefer to buy them on line.

I haven't noticed any adverse reactions to them. I don't take them every day, but I probably should. I like to drink one first thing in the morning before going to the gym.

So are they bad to use as our Protein supp? I cant stand those other shakes, it takes me 3 hours to drink one

I asked my nutritionist about them and she said the problem is with the 40-something gram ones, not the 26 gram ones. Your body can only absorb about 30 grams of Protein at a time, so if you're using the 40+ gram ones, it's a waste. I'm going to buy a flat of them soon.

My nut also doesn't like me using them. I only use them when I know I haven't gotten enough Protein in a day. Usually 2-3 times a week. I just can't eat that much food. I do buy the 42g of whey protein bullets and only drink 1/2 and put the other 1/2 of it in the fridge. It's more economical to do it that way. That way it's only one swig at a time. I get the fruit punch flavored ones from GNC online.
