the hubby told me the other day that he had found a 10g milk made by Hood, and brought it home for me. 10 g per cup, and I use 11/2 cups mixed with a sf carnation instant breakfast. thats 20 g of protein. Because I am still struggling with the protein powders, I use this 2-3 times a day plus add to it with "meals" Im getting about 65 daily now. Maybe need a little more. But for those of us who struggle with the taste and cost of protein shakes, this works really well.

What do they do to the milk to make it have more protein? How does it taste?

I have 16oz of the Hood calorie countdown fat free milk every morning to get some protein in me.  You can't beat those stats!!!  Good stuff!

the tomato soup seems to be THE good thing for me, it is very soothing and comforting. The Hood calorie countdown stuff is awesome. The pnly trouble I have had so far was trying to push capacity to make the drinks an even 20 Gs. I went to 11/2 cups of milk (15 g) and my stomach can DRINK it, I am just miserable after. Too full and gurgly. I am surprised I can even do a cup and a half, plus the carnation, Im guessing that is just liquids and that I wont be able to do near as much solids. Going just by the liquid volume I can manage, it seems my pouch is a little bigger than I expected. Guess solids will be the real test, though.
PS cheese? what is this thing you speak of?

Ruth, you can actually manage sixteen ounces? wow. So a cup and a half isnt unrealistic, then. Two cups would kill me, I think. Im doing a cup for now, the fullness I get at 11/2 makes me not want to stay at that amt. Maybe someday, huh? How long did it take you to be able to do 16 oz?

Huh.  I've never seen that before.  I'll have to look for it.  I drink TONS of milk and any extra bit of protein helps!
