Question about shakes

[Mattymatt 491]

Do Protein Shakes count towards both liquid and Protein goals? I cannot remember.

Hmmm. That is a good question. I believe they only apply towards Protein. I could be wrong though. I only apply them to Protein as they make me feel dehydrated at times.

It does feel like the Protein is drying me out too.

Yeah, I would feel really thirsty after drinking one. I think its due to the Protein. I just wait 30 minutes and then drink Water.

Protein Drinks counts toward liquid. But like many, my RD wanted an additional 36oz just from clear liquids--not counting the Protein drinks. But no issues for me, cuz I was doing 64oz per day by day 2 out of the hospital. And, I love Water, so no issues there...

I was told the Water or skim milk you use in your shake counts but the other ingredients don’t. So I’m you make a 12 oz shake that has yogurt and Protein Powder and 8 oz of Fluid, you would count just the 8 oz. Broths count as liquids as do sugar free popsicles.

LOL, at the point where Matty is, I was only doing Premier Protein, so it was a 1 and done. I've not graduated to "complex" shakes yet--but hope to get the green light for frozen spinach and fruit smoothies again! Can't wait to make Dr. Weiner's set point smoothie!
