Protein/Caffeine=Keeping hunger at bay?

First things first: Good Morning, Kim!!

Good morning Everyone!

I have a question that I'd like to pose to those of us that use protein powder, specifically those of you that add it to coffee. (I believe both Cookie

and RoRo

had made mention of this not too long ago) I've heard that caffeine ALONE works to stave off hunger, as does protein (Thanks Inspire!

). Question is, when you combine the two, would you say that it...works "twofold" at surpressing your appetite, or is it no different than having just one instead of the other?

Do you find that you experience hunger sooner if you go without this "****tail" or what?

(Inspire: I gave it a shot. Vanilla protein powder mixed with a caramel swirl latte w/ an extra shot IS NOT THE MOVE. As a matter of fact the ONLY THING moving will be my.....uh...maybe I should keep that to myself. )

1.) The BACKLINES have backlines. Watch what you say and more importantly WHO YOU SAY IT TO!! 2.) There are NO secrets on BAF. DON'T BE FOOLED!!
3.) The person who says: "I'm going to tell you something, but you can't tell anyone." has already TOLD 50 other people!
No--this isn't from experience--well, not MINE anyway!

Mike i can't answer your question because the last time I tried to make protein coffee it came out all lumpy so now I just do the protein shake first thing in the am and drink my decaf coffee later on in the morning. But good luck with that...lol

Maybe this tip will help you...

Someone told me to mix the protein with a small amount of cold water first, to dissolve it all. Then mix this mixture into the hot liquid. I haven't tried it yet though.
