What to try????

I love (I never thought I would say this) the Jay Robb Egg white Protein. It comes in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. It tastes good and has no after taste. I drink the muscle milk too - but for me it has a strong after taste. I just got the New-Whey Liquid Protein bullet in fruit punch and it's like drinking Jello and has 42g of protein.

We were told that 20 grams of Protein at each serving for 3 drinks and a total of 60 grams of protein. The body can only absorb about 20 per sitting.

...And I had heard 30-35g per meal was the max.

I just spent the better part of the last hour digging my way through a couple dozen of the google results for the phrase "how much Protein can the body absorb in one meal?" I did my best to skip over the over-abundance of sites promoting their own Protein product and looked mostly for those that might be tied to universities or health sites.

End conclusions: Who knows? But the majority agreed that eating too much protein is not harmful as long as you don't have any pre-existing kidney problems. A couple said that too much might be harmful for even healthy kidneys but most said that there was no medical evidence to back that up. Whereas they all seem to agree if you eat too little your body will start to break down your muscle tissue to get what it needs.

So for me I guess I don't go out of my way to eat too much protein in one meal (what ever too much is) but I'd still rather eat too much and have it pass thru unused than too little and risk losing muscle tissue.

Finally, I am NOT a medical professional nor do I play one on LBT. I'm just another bandster curious about the same issues and doing my best to lose this infernal excess weight.

Oh, I forgot. I was going to post some links to a couple of the better sites I found that talked about this in more depth.

And you wouldn't believe the online forum debates you can find out there in the bodybuidling world as well. Ranging in opinions from you can eat 100's in one meal to no more than 6-grams. You should have saw the flak the one saying 6-grams got from his fellow body builders.

This is what my doctor recommends and can buy it wholesale and in bulk through his office. It is pretty good with none of the aftertaste involved.

I'm using the whey Protein bullets. I have the fruit punch flavor. I get a water bottle and mix it with my crystal light, takes great. I use a sippy cup to make sure I get small sips.

Well I sent back the unjury shake mixes I had sent for, they made me sick after surgery, ened up being intolerent to whey Protein, I am now using soy Protein and feeling much better. Advantage Edge chocolate is good with an extra squirt of Hersey's no surgar chocolate Syrup. I have also a soy protein with 25 grams per scoop plain no flavor and put that in my Soups now that I am on the Soup stage.

In my third week tomorrow and going to eat pureed fruits and cottage and ricotta skim milk no fat cheese. Yummy LOL

No real desire to eat anything, just healing and waiting for my first fill in September.

Good luck everyone.

I absolutely LOVE milk and cheese but if your body isn't tolerating the whey protein supplements well I'd be carefull with adding back in the cheeses and milks slowly as they may also cause you problems as well.

After all the old name for cottage cheese I believe was "Curds & Whey".

I've heard of several bandsters that have developed or discovered they were allergic to foods they never thought they had a problem with before such as dairy or nuts. My completely un-founded, non-medical suspicion is that they already had a mild allergy to the food before but hadn't realized it as they were diluting it with the large quantities of other foods they were eating unlike us bandsters who can sometimes consider one or two cheese sticks an entire meal.

Try Muscle Milk the chocolate Malt is the best =)

I have yet to find a flavor of Muscle Milk that I do not like.:smile2:
