Has anyone tried protein shots to get their daily need of protein in??

Guess not?

I haven't had surgery yet. So I don't know! Sorry maybe someone will read and respond.

No, I haven't

I was taking shots of proteinex but that stuff is nasty and i stopped.

I have heard that most of those protein shots dont have the correct protein we should be having. I believe whey protein isolate is what to look for. Other forms of the protein that are found in some of those shots aren't digested properly and you end up taking the shots for nothing.

Melting mama & Eggface did a video review of one a month or two ago. Had "ice" in the name. The video is on Melting Mama's blog. It was whey isolate if I remember correctly & came in 3 flavors. Drugstore.com sells it. I was considering it but can't find anywhere that sells just one, only a case. If it's anything like Isopuke, I don't want to be stuck with a case.

They are disgusting. They smell and taste terrible

I have tried the watermelon protein shots. Not the greatest but tolerable in taste. Only 3 oz i think. Not sure if it was the right kind of protein or not. Still got some in my fridge.

Stay away from most of the protein "bullets" and "shots" that you will see in stores and read about online. If you look closely at their ingredient list, you will see that they are made with "collagen" protein. These products are attractive to bypass patients because they contain very large amounts of protein in very small volumes - usually 3 to 4 ounces. The problem is that collagen protein is an incomplete protein (meaning that it is missing one or more of the nine essential amino acids that your body requires and cannot manufacture). In addition, collagen (aka "gelatin" protein) has a PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) digestibility score of 0.08. The PDCAAS has been adopted by the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the World Health Organization as the standard for measuring all proteins. Proteins are ranked on a scale of 0 (least digestible) to 1 (most digestible). Whey, Soy, Milk, and Casein proteins all have a PDCAAS score of 1.0. All the protein in the world is useless if your body cannot digest it.

I don't think I will be trying any! Thanks for the info, good to know.

Thank you for that info. I will be not be doing the shots to help get my protein.
