Favorite protein?

[cajun 46]

9 gr. is what is in the Greek yogurt I am using - is that a lot?? I am so glad you asked!!! Tell me what a lot is. I am not sure what to look for, even though I have not had surgery yet, I am watching the carbs, but neither my husband or I are sure WHAT is considered a lot.

Also, about the Stivia, I have used it and like it but currently I am using something called Sun Crystals, it is stivia and cane sugar. 5 cal. per packet. Is that something I should give up after surgery?

Thank you in advance!

I switched from sun crystals when I found the pure stivia packets...no need to be eating sugar at all! It stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin, so you feel hungry. It can sabotage your weight loss, so Erase those 5 calories! My doc recommends under 60 grams of carbs per day. It adds up, so every little bit you can avoid is a good idea.

Anyone tried Jayrobb's whey or Egg White Protein drinks? Jayrobb.com: Jay Robb whey Protein with Stevia and Natural Flavors. I was going to try the Hemp protein, but the protein to carb ration is inverted and if you do buy the one with high Fiber the protein count is only 9 / serving / 100+ Kcals.

I have a long history of weird intolerences to different foods. :001_rolleyes: I got a sample of the Whey Protein Drink and I'm interested in the egg white protein. I try to go natural as much as my carb craving allows (evil evil fast food places). Anyone tried? Like/hate?

I use the Jay Robb Whey Protein powder, chocolate flavor, every day. Love it! Outstanding quality, I did a lot of research before choosing it. No aspartame etc. It uses stevia which is plant based. No bad aftertaste.

I tried the egg white Jay Robb, it didn't taste so hot. I like the vanilla Whey much better. I did find to change up the flavor a bit I added 1/3-1/2 cup greek yogurt and 1 tablespoon sugar free peach preserves (Splenda so only 5 carbs). Added some good flavor depth and extra Protein, also a bit more filling.

I've never tried the Jay Robb egg white. Always use the whey, chocolate flavor. I sometimes add some banana extract for a different flavor. I think it tastes good, no aftertaste at all. I like that it has no aspartame...stevia is the sweetener and I think it is safer than the others...

I will keep the sugar free peach preserves in mind. I also have tried the vanilla whey Jay Robb, and variety is good, right?? =) I'm glad you tried it, glad it comes in sample size....sorry you didn't like it. Have a great day!!!

Leaving tomorrow, headed to Dallas for my seminar next week!!! Yippee!

Made the mistake of trying to mix the Jay Robb Vanilla Whey powder with vanilla Hemp milk, it kinda tasted like Krispi Kreme milk (ugh!) waaaaayyy to sweet. Just the right sweet with Water as a base. I did try adding just a touch of unsweetened orange juice concentraite and it had a very Orange Julius flavor that was rather tasty. I think an OJ extract would work as well.

Enjoy your Dallas trip NtvTxn!
