Thread: 6 Meals? Shakes?

Protein shake by itself- no. You need to add some fat, and unless your avoiding carbs for some reason you should have a bit of carbs also. I usually do 40g protein, 1-2tbsp of natty PB, and 1 cup oatmeal (except my no carb days).

lets say i eat a cup of brown rice (good carbs) with each of the meals (food meals not shake) would that be a good diet to lose weight?

i think im one of those that gains weight fast

Having the brown rice INSTEAD of the bread would be a better idea. Seems to me you need more veggies, better carbs, more chicken and defiantely fat in your diet.

Check out the stickies in the Diet forum for ideas and meal plans

60g of protein especially coming from whey causes an insulin response, meaning it stops fat burning. If you have to have shakes due to concinience have some caesin blend and fats.

So if I drink 60g of whey i wont be losing fat?

50g from the powder and im guessing around 10-15g coming from skim milk that i mix with it.

NO. I think AJ was trying to say that you should have a balanced shake, not just whey alone.

What other protien should i use besides "optimum pure pro" (i think thats the name)?

I jsut realized the protien i bought (i havent started using till friday when it gets delivered) is not

"Optimum pure pro" which i think doesnt exist

its.. "Optimum Pro complex" which has Whey protien, casien, and eggs, so when you drink the shake im guessing the whey gets absorbed right away and the casien later on?

Add a few TBS of heavy cream or nat peanut butter to your shakes! Oh, and maybe a yolk or 2 to your egg whites! How about some oats? I luuuuv oatmeal!

Heavy cream meaning?

I dont like anything peanut butter but those reeses cups and i dont think i can add that to my shakes!

Cream like in a milk carton, or half n half. I just noticed you have NO fat in your diet at all. I used to limit my fat as much as I could, currently Im carb cycling and was recommend to add fats! Do you add mayo in your tuna? Try that for an added fat, just dont eat too much! Try adding fish oil capsules as recommend by almost everyone here, or a TBS or 2 of flax to your shakes!

Peanut butter cups, havent had them in a long while. Im planning a cheat day halloween, ummm chocolate.

2 scoops of chocolate flavoured whey + 6 oz of 1% milk + 6 oz of water + 1 or 2 tbsp of natural PB + a couple ice cubes = HEAVEN

No milk for me sounds good though. Ever add oats to your shakes? I heard if mixed with chocolate whey it tastes like a granola bar!?

Oats is GREAT with a shake. But don't make it in the morning and drink it in the afternoon!! The oats soak up all the water while it's sitting there and it becomes a VERY thick shake.

actually my fatty acids are coming from Flax Seed oil pills, i take 2-3 a day, and milk

IMO, milk contains sugar so I don't drink that, especially if your trying to lose weight.

IMO? What is that?

imo = in my opinion i think
