Protein /Food

[Aube 42]

Does anyone have this concern: trying to stay in that 800/1000 calories range when ur drinking Protein that has a lot of calories and u need 60 to 80 grams a day plus eating food. struggling not to go over calories.

Can any sleevers relate???

I have some shake powders that are high in calories and taste good, and some that are high in Protein and taste bad.

I usually use half a packet/serve of the tasty one and add in a smaller amount of the high-protein one to get the Protein level back up.

I also use Water instead of milk.

Have you tried to find a lower calorie Protein drink?

My Syntrax nectar that I like has 90 calories, 0 carb, and 24 g Protein. Like Mrs. Kaje, I mix mine with Water. Even drinking 2 a day leaves plenty of room for food calories/protein. You might want to try some samples of different Proteins and find one that is lower calorie than what you are using!
