Need more protein

[sweeTHEArt 2]

Does anyone know of a tasteless Protein I can put into Water or juice or something so that I can get more protein in my diet. I am at the mushy stage and by my calculations I am getting probably 20+ grams a day of protein but I should probably be getting about 40 at this point. THe Protein Shakes are not something I can see myself eating long term so is there some solution?

You can order whey Protein powder--it's tasteless--and mix it into oatmeal or yogurt. The amount of Protein in it is:

17 grams per serving. here is the link to where I saw it:

Hope that helps! It's Dr. Curry's site!

You can also try Unjury (www.unjury.com)

Any whey is also good. 17 grams of Protein, no fat and 70 calories in one scoop. I mix it into sugar free koolaid and have one about an hour after lunch every day....really keeps my blood sugar stable.

I found something that helps with the protein and the Water intake - I purchased Isopure Zero Carb - no sugar, 40gms of protein in a 20oz bottle. It comes in different flavors, grape, berry, punch, & apple. You can purchase it at GNC for $3.99. It is a little pricey but worth it!

I have Isopure and the whey Protein Powder in chocolate but they both are making me naseous and I have only been banded since 3/20. I definitely need something that is TASTELESS and won't make anything thick and gloppy. Ideally I don't even want to be able to know its there. Does anyone know if Unjury would do that?

I make my own Protein Water using New Whey Orange flavor and Propel

1 tube New Whey (42 grams protein) - Orange flavor

1 bottle propel Mandaring Orange or Mango flavor

Mix in 1 liter bottle - add filtered tap Water to fill the liter out.

196 calories for 42 grams of Protein with the added Vitamins from the propel.

The flavor is very NON-nauseating. A nice light orange.

I get the protein at DPS Nutrition website. http://www.dpsnutrition.net/get_item_ID132.htm

Please note - I don't work for, or own stock in DPS Nutrition or New Whey/IDS, or Propel. I just like this liquid Protein and have been quite happy to have no hair loss, nor any other band related problems.

Good Luck!

I can't stand Isopure products. On another list we refer to it as Isopuke. We also decided to hunt down the makers of Isopuke like wild dogs.

Try unjury for an unflavored Protein. Don't skip protein!!! You will starve if you don't get your Protein in. Sugar makes you want to eat your right arm. Protein kills hunger.

After clears are done try Matrix 5.0. Cookies and Cream if you really like sweets, chocolate if you just like chocolate milk.

Oh, Crapola!!! I just bought 2 cases of that stuff off of GNC--it was buy 1 get one 1/2 off--the dietician from Dr. C's site said just to make sure it was REALLY cold--I figured I'd put it in the freezer like an hour before I was going to drink half of it! pffttt....I hope I can stomach it--I'm getting things ready for my post-op liquid diet and wanted to make sure i was getting enough protein!

The Vitamin Shoppe has the liquid protien @ 47 g per vial.

I know you aren't super fond of the shakes, but I use them for Breakfast (sipping slowly) and have gotten used to them.

I've found this to be a pretty good Protein concoction: 1/2 scoop chocolate Slim Fast, 1/2 scoop chocolate unjury powder, and 1 cup skim milk. The calorie count is about 200 and the Protein count is 20 g. (10 g protein in the Unjury, 9 in the skim milk and 1 in the Slim Fast.)

Another idea: Blend 1 prepackaged cup of sugar free Chocolate pudding (60 cal), about 1/4 cup skim milk (30 cal) and 1 full scoop unflavored Unjury (40 cal). That would give you 22 g of protein for about 130 calories.

Also, IMO, you should be getting more like 60 g protein per day.

Hi,

I add unflavored whey (which you can find at GNC) to sugar free carnation instant Breakfast and 8 ounces of skim milk; CIB is 4 grams of Protein + the whey is a total of 25 grams of protein. It is really good if you mix it in a blender!!
