I'm a pro at protien LOL, having done a bit of body building and muscle work, and I don't understand why people here don't get on to the professional body building sites for their protein powders. Those have great tastes and are low in carbs and pack whopping punches of proteins. Most of them are like double thick milk shakes - c'mon y'all you used to drink those at MacDonalds, admit it. But they can be thinned down if you can't bear them like that. I like EAS, USN and Atkins. EAS packs in 42g of proteins into fantastic flavours, specially their tropical pack (no I don't work for t hem, I'm just annoyed I can't get them in HK anymore).

I mixed a half of banana, a few frozen strawberries, 1 packet of splenda, 8oz skim milk with a scoop of tasteless whey protein poweder & ice. Mixed it up in the food processor and it was delish!!! Sipped it slowly an enjoyed it totally... with a total of 25grams of protein! Oh, and I strained it too because I didn't want to get any of the strawberry seeds or pieces in it... just in case. The protein powders taste good when mixed with a little splenda, ice, milk & fruit. That's the only way I've been able to get them down. This is only my third day so I don't think I'm doing too bad. I really need to start measuring how much liquids I take in through the day. I'm not really sure if I'm getting enough each day. I'm sipping all day but not sure if it's enough. Do you all measure? Cheers, Lisa S.

Good protein ideas. I bought various samples of protein powders and have been trying them. So far I hate it all I am getting in all my protein though.

Yes at this point i meassure everything from my drainage to my liquids and my pain meds per Doctors orders but also for me just to make sure i make my 64 oz a day very important
