How much protein do we need?

 Becky, What pancake mix do you use? I thought you were gluten intolerate or something? I have no intolerances but that shake cake bothers my stomach, I was using regular pancake mix. 

Pancake mix?  ??

Not in a cake shake.  You use baking powder but nothing with wheat gluten in it.

 oh my! This whole I thought you guys were talking about the protein cake in the microwave. I haven't tried this one! Thanks.

We are (have been) talking about the cake shake for the microwave.  This is KaylaB's recipe that I share a zillion times a week because I obsess over it.

I drank shakes but the only ones I liked were Chike which gets pretty expensive if you do 4 a day or more like I do.  The cake shake I make with less expensvie protein powder PLUS I freakn' love it.

What recipe calls for pancake mix, just out of curiousity?

I did chocolate jello and chocolate protein, no fruit. Then poured half and half over it while it was hot.

I've not seen that recipe before.  I cna't do milk or pancake mix so I can't do it.  But maybe other people would like to try that one.

Have you tried KaylaB's?  It would be interesting to see a comparitive reveiw!!

 I'm definitely going to try it. The pancake mix bothered my stomach so I'm glad to see a variation.

 I do 3 double scoop protein shakes for 150g plus food. I basically eat half servings of regular food. If you want to friend me on myfitnesspal, a lot of us log our food.

I drink 60-120 g a day in shakes.

I eat all day long for a total of another 60-90. That's a requirement for my DS. I have to go to my Dr, have my blood checked and get results. I cannot depend on a forum to tell me how much protein my body needs.

You may not depend on this forum for advice about how much protein you need but if I depended on my surgeon's NUT I would be getting 75 grams of protein a day.
