I have been craving cereal and I am on a low-carb diet so it's a no-no of sorts... well, I did find a protein cereal which is pretty good...It's 140 calories a serving(which I thought was sorta small but my band is totally satisfied), 24g carbs(12g of which are sugar), and 12g of protein... I am still in trials so if any of you found a healthy cereal which is lower carb... I would appreciate the recommendations... Well, I finally added Protein shakes to my menu today... I was told by my doctor not to drink my calories... but I cannot get enough protein in by meal alone. I picked a Pure Protein ready to drink shake... GNC didn't have any cold Frosty Chocolates(Ironic that Frosty Chocolate can be warm, huh?) so I went with a Strawberry and cream this morning. It was 11oz, had 35g of Protein, 160 calories(only 10 from fat), 1g fat, 2g carbs(only 1 of which was sugar) and has no aspartame... sound too good to be true, hence... the nasty taste, but I had no trouble getting it down since it was only 11oz. I bought the chocolate for tomorrow... It has 170 calories(still only 10 from fat), 1g fat, 4g carbs, and no aspartame... but how will it taste? We will find out tomorrow, but I had no trouble getting the protein goal for today with the help of that Strawberry nightmare... Who hasn't swallowed some high protein liquid for the better good? *********************Update........ I am sorry I was being so subtle with the last sentence of this post.... Of Course, I am flithy, dirty, bad girl! I was jealous when Gilly was offered spankings in Chicago... So I will make my little swatting well-deserved.... I would never make it in 50's suburbia.... but who wouldn't love to wear one of those frilly sheer aprons with nothing else on with a roast in a pan to greet your mate when they come home....LOL!
I dont have any protein supplements because i think i get enough with my eggs and skim milk.... well i hope im getting enough but like i said im confused so i could be doing everything very wrong lol.
ReplyDeleteThe drama of finding a tasty protein drink. If you even find a good one, shout it out for us all to hear:)
ReplyDeleteI use this brand. I like the nutrition profile, but the strange taste not so much. I however have remedied the situation. Add 1 packet of splenda to the shake. The strange taste... GONE! They are starting to carry them here with a can with a screwtop lid.
ReplyDeleteLOL!! sorry...dirty mind...you know me! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIs that last sentence supposed to be filthy? Because if it is...I like you even more!
ReplyDeleteI have a dirty mind too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment on my blog! I am not going anywhere! ( :
Have a pretty day!

LOL@Amy W. You slay me!!
ReplyDeleteI saw that particular protein shake at the nutrition shop where I buy my protein powder. Good you are getting it in.
I use Cytomax RTDs and they are pretty good. I also make a protein shake with Isopure powder and a bit of pudding mix. I really like both. I was told not to drink my calories, too, but I don't see me getting in my protein without the help of these. I'm still on full liquids, so of course, right now I'm drinking my calories, but plan to continue both when I move on to mushies, and probably regular food, too.
ReplyDeleteI think being a 50s housewife would be fun... for a week. :)
ReplyDeleteI love to swallow my high protein liquid at least twice a week! ;)
ReplyDeleteHonestly this whole protien thing is such a headache to me. It's like I have to try hard to find something with good amounts of protien in it ya know.
