Your Favorite Protein Supplements, Please

Spiru-tein is good and one of the lower one in carbs and sugars...be careful with Protein powders...they are mainly made for body builders and are high in carbs!

I like SlimScript. They tast almost like a 'real' shake and are high in Protein and low in sugar and carbs. I order mine online and I have them set up to autoship 1x a month. This is the info on the chocolate ones. To me, there is no comparison in flavor and nutrition to anything else I have found.

Myoplex LITE Nutrition Shake:

25g Protein

2.5g fat

18g carbs (dietary fiber 3g & sugars 1g)

190 calorie premix drink or 180 calorie mix packet.

I have been drinking the Dutch chocolate premix since the surgery and haven't tired of it yet. The makers, EAS, also have a box of mix packets called chocolate Lovers that have the following variety of flavors: Dutch Chocolate, Mint Chocolate and Chocolate Peanut Butter.

I've tried the Boost Hi-Protein but that only has 15 grams of Protein and 230 calories. It tastes good but not enough protein.

I have seen Myoplex LITE at GNC and even our local Kroger grocery store.

Isopure clear liquid protien there is about 40 gms per bottle and it is sweet so I mix about 1/3 with 32 oz of Water three times a day

its a easy way to drink my water and get a added 40 gms of Protein

I drink CarbWatchers Lean Body high Protein MRP shake dutch chocolate ice cream flavor from Labrada. It has 42g of protein and tastes good. Whan I usually do is mix half a package with 8oz skim milk for Breakfast and the other half for dinner and have regular food for lunch. That way I make sure I at least get my full 60g of protein/day. Doing this combined with 64oz of Water pretty much keeps me full all day and away from snacking. You can puchase the shakes at labrada.com.

It seems as though many people stay on Protein Drinks even after the liquid phase. Is this a common practice?

[harlito 0]

Yes, I think it is. I find meats hard to eat so the Protein shakes/drinks make it easier to get all the needed protein. Plus, they are a very lean source of protein and they taste good too.

Hi yes, its critical to get your protein..you need it for cell regrowth, healing from surgery, and most of all...warding off hair loss!!!!

Your body can only absorb 20 grams at a time, the rest you pee out...so only have 20grams at a time...twice or three times daily is perfect.

I don't think it's as common as you think, BUT remember that everyone's different. Everyone has different abilities to tolerate solid Protein. The important thing is that you are GETTING the recommended amount of protein per day. Whether that's by supplements or through solid food depends on you.

Personally, I do my best to get it through solid food. Since I have no difficulties with chicken, beef, turkey or fish........I do my absolute best. When I think I'm failing, I go back to keeping track of what I eat. You can guestimate all you want, but when you actually write it down and calculate it out, the proof is before your eyes.

In my own experience, when I do Protein shakes I have higher caloric intake for the day and I'm not as satisfied because that liquid just moves right on through the pouch. If I do Protein Bars, that's a little better but that gets kind of tiresome. food, much better source of protein.

For me, it would be impossible to hit my Protein target if I didn't drink something with a lot of protein. I need 80 grams....can't get that through food anymore.

My surgeon told me I'd be drinking my Protein, at least in the mornings, until I reach my goal weight. I find my stomach does not tolerate solids at all in the mornings. It's a quick 20 grams of protein, whether via a shake or half a bottle of diluted Isopure. One less thing to deal with when trying to get ready for work.

No joke! When I get up in the morning the last thing I am thinking about is fixing something to eat. The shakes work out just fine.

I like this one too. You can get it made in the store or buy the powder and make it at home.

I try to keep it change up to keep from being bored by the same ol flavor. This one comes in vanilla, strawberry and strawberry banana. No aftertaste, not too sweet. If you make it with milk the values change. This is with ice.

Vegas mentioned Isopure. Both she and my surgeon claimed that Isopure has 40 grams of Protein. But the ones I've picked up only have 20. Are there different kinds and strengths??
