Baileys is only coffee and sugaR and vodka(like everclear) ( my sister makes it)you put that on top of what you already had that day and it could of done that to you very easy.just like one bit tomany can be a problem

thats what I said in my post already why cant it be gm instead of mg

only 3.5 gm protien...wish it was 150gm protien that is what I'm understanding is ..150mg = 3.5 gm is this right.boyfriend wants it to be the other way around.......

If you have health reasons then you go girl good luck do you have to go to Mexico because of low BIM

Ok who goes to the doctors next they have to ask good protein.. bad protein......

My insurance dose not require only obesity and I health no wait period but my doctor requires 3 months dietitian

Do you think we should find out if it is a good protein source...that.is what I read online maybe I will be good thing .....lol
