Protein shakes and bars forever?



Recommended Posts

I would say this differs per person. I still drink two shakes a day. That said, I am a large man and will always be a large man. I'm just not a fat man anymore. I workout and I need 190 grams of Protein a day. There is just no way I can eat that much food to get to 190 without protein supplements.< br />
Obviously, I am an exception and not the rule. If you only need 90-100 grams of protein, you can easily do that via food. That is basically chicken for lunch, steak for dinner, eggs for Breakfast and a cup of cottage cheese somewhere along the way. It becomes a lot harder when you double that.

I only eat shakes if I'm at work - it's a quick and convenient way to ingest Protein and I don't have to rush it. The rest of the time, I eat proper food. I am currently snacking on an apple and a chunk of mature cheddar...mmmm…

I eat the bars fairly often now as a quick go to when I'm out that I know I can eat and feel good about the choice.. I've tried a few different ones recently.. the best was the Quest s'mores bar... that thing was actually pretty tasty.. 21 gm Protein 14 gm Fiber 190 calories. Pretty good numbers for what I'm trying to achieve.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
