Dense protein

Are protein shakes and protein bars considered to dense protein?

I don't think of them as dense, no.  To me dense protein is flesh-of-beast mostly - chicken, beef, pork.  Fish.  Eggs can be dense as well.  A protein shake or bar stays with me about 90 minutes or less, while dense protein keeps me happy for a good three hours.

Shakes, definitely not---they're a LIQUID. Protein bars ARE dense, but just how much of that really is 'protein' varies from bar to bar. When *I* think of 'dense protein', I think of animal flesh, cheeses, and nuts.

 I don't think so. Dense protein is animal protein such as meat or eggs, or tofu, tempeh, seitan, things like that.

What Carol said. Dense protein is usually meat and eggs usually.

LAP BAND + dense protein hurts like a MOFO
