starving at night...........

I like the EAS shakes - they come in the box drink thingies in packages of 4. But they are very small servings... I would rely on protein powder more - I actually travel w/ a shaker or a good jug thing (not a large plastic cup w/ the straw thing because you can never get the straw part clean) and keep a baggie of protein mix & scoop w/ me. Just add water & you have instant drink for a lot cheaper.

I would probally do better if I did just bring my protein and mix it with the water I drink already. It just isn't as good. But you do consider that a meal replacement?

hmm. i rarely drink protein shakes mixed with water all by themselves as a meal.

If I want it to be a quick meal I either add milk or eat some diet yogurt after the shake.

whey mixed with water would keep me satisfied all of 5 minutes and I'd be hungry again! lol

Those EAS shakes are good but they are expensive

yeah, protein shakes (whey) by themselves aren't a meal replacement IMO.....unless it's pre-bed, then it's just easier than cooking/eating/chewing food......Casein protein sticks with me longer than whey does or you can have whey with a fat, like PB.....or nuts......

And yeah, the slimfast has sugar & junk in them, just read the ingredients.....regular protein is much healthier....and you can add fruit & stuff to it yourself so you know what's in it....

That is what he ment to say Sassy lol......Ksharp..I mix mine with fat free milk in the little blender and it tastes fine...Duck had me eat oats/hotwater and protein powered mixed into a paste and it was good lol....

I hate cottage cheese too - makes me gag.

Can try some plain yogurt mixed with berries (NOT the non-fat crap, regular stuff), 1oz cheese and apple, celery and PB, etc etc .....

Protein shake with water is a great post-WO nutrition, but not the best alone befopre bed - too fast digesting. Make a "shake" with 1/4 skim milk, rest water, protein powder, couple berries and peanut butter (or add 1 tbsp plain olive oil for fat, no flavor)
