Clear Liquid Diet Options

[boilermaker]

I'm supposed to be on a clear liquid diet from 6 a.m tomorrow until 2 p.m the following day. This is because I am having a medical procedure done. Is protein whey and water acceptable for this? What reccomendations can you offer to get some nutrients. I know I can have beef, vegetable and chicken broth but I was hoping for a little more supply of nutrients. If this is all I can have, then how much and how often?

A clear liquid diet is just that. Clear liquid. If you can't see through it then it's unacceptable. So no, protein shake is not gonna work.

Let me see if I can find something for you to explain what is acceptable for clear liquid diets.

So I think you should add some juices and maybe some gatorade. This will help at least get some nutrients and calories in.

I thought you might say that about the protein powder. Should I even bother with my cardio and core workout?

Thank you for the link.

i would just take the day off, especially if you are in a bulk, because you do not want to burn any excess cals if you are not even taking in enough. just make this your rest day. and good luck at the doc.

Nah - Just chill out and take it easy. You are not gonna have alot of energy. you will probably already be catabolic so don't help it along
