Protein Bullet

OK- in trying to get more protein in I bought some 42g protein bullets. I had 1/2 of one for breakfast. Do I count that as my breakfast or do I still have to eat something in 1/2 hour? Thanks- Holly

My nutritionist says I can substitute protein beverages for meals if need be. As long as you get your quota of protein & vitamins & minerals in each day.

Hi Holly, I use the 42 gram bullets everyday...1/2 in the morning, 1/2 at night. But, I try to use them either as a snack if I'm not really hungry, or as extra calories and protein with my breakfast since they are only 88 calories, 21 grams protein for 1/2. I just make an effort to balance my overall calorie intake with my overall protein intake for the day. I think it will depend on what eating schedule works for you to help you get in your requirements. If you don't already, try keeping a log of your daily menu to see where in your day you can sqeeze them in to gain the maximum benefit of protein absorption. Hope this helps . Hugs...Suz

Hi - I usually use in addition to my food...... On a side note...... I actually met the man who created these new whey protein bullets today. He was in my vitamin shoppe store w/ samples. He said that these were aimed to be used by the gastric bypass community..... he developed them with another doctor. He said that they coming out w/ 2 more flavors..... pina colada and lemon lime. He also said that they are deveoping a meal replacment product as well. ohhhh and he said that they are coming out with mixed cases - so you don't have to have all the same flavor in one box...... we had a long conversation. It was kind of fun and he was excited to actually meet someone who had bypass and uses them. Marta

that is so cool that you got to meet him!!! Today was my first day trying them and I have to say- drinking it straight made me want to gag- but tonight when I did the other half- I read somewhere that someone said to add crystal lite to it and I did and it was much better!!!! Today I tried the fruit punch. WOW- by the time I got all that extra liquid in- I sure wasn't hungry!!! Also- today was the first day I hit my protein goal- so I think this will become something I need to do!!! Thanks- Holly

Wow Marta that is so exciting!!! Thanks for sharing. Hey where can I get these bullets? Anna

I'm interested to try one... where do I get them?? I HATE the slimfast protein ones... they are gross... I have some protein powder to try but haven't used it yet... I tried that new K2O protein water... it has a really strong flavor and its good if its REALLY cold or put over ice to water it down... but its too sweet if its not really cold and I think it does have some calories from the sweetener.... I'd have to double check, but I just tried one a couple months ago...

Question. Where do you buy these protein bullets. Are they a pill or drink? Just curious. I am always looking for something new. Thanks, Roxanne

Hi Roxanne - I usually get them from Vitamin Shoppe stores ( cheaper than paying shipping) or you can get them on line. Go to the New Whey website or I believe they are advertised on the main message board page on this website. Marta
