Protein Question....

I have heard and read that Whey protein is good and our body absorbs it well. But, I also heard that there is protein that is not as good and wont absorb as well and therefor we arent getting all the grams in that we may of thought? Is this true? I was going to go and get some protein bars and try a powder since everything I have right now is nasty to me. But, is it important to look for a certain type of protein? I would appreciate all info on this. I am tired of buying protein that is not beneficial (sp?) to me.

i have read on several nutrition sites that the only type of protein that we absorbe all of it is Whey Isolates. like they make ON protein powder out of ....some others have this kind too. but not all so read the labels....really doesnt have to taste like a choc cake it is something that you are going to have to have...so need to bite the bullit and drink it ....when are you havien your gall bladder out???

I use GNC brand of whey protein mix and like the caramel chocolate the best.  If you don't like what you buy, you can return it within 30 days.  I also have the Power Crunch bars from GNC that have 13 grams of proteink, 5 sugars.  I tried protein bars from WM but didn't like.  We are all so different in our tastes, what I like you may not be able to tolerate.

One favorite is hot chocolate from Nashua Nutrition (nashuanutrition.com).

The only thing I can tolerate is the whey vials, thats just because I can just get them down and over with..vesta

I understand what you are saying Jan about biting the bullet, but when it makes me so nauseated then it isnt doing me much good. I realize this is my body medicine, but I am unable to have milk or much of anything until my Gall bladder is removed. I will know when that will be tomorrow at my Dr. Appt.

i understand that and feel for you about them making you sick....but i do know that until you find one that you can tolerate you are going to feel sick but a different sick do you know what i mean?
anyway let us know when you are going to have gall bladder surgery  hope you get it done quickly....you will feel so much better then and might not have nearly as much problems with the protein then .....
