Under B you state "2 protein coffee (60g) and an additional regular coffee". Can you tell me what that is, is it hot or cold, what are you adding? I am having trouble getting in my protein and I like coffee so I thought I might need to know more. Thanks!!

It's hot coffee. Here's how I do it:

Brew a pot of your favorite coffee
In a 20oz blender bottle w/wire ball add 3 oz of heavy cream or 1/2 & 1/2, add 3 more oz of cool water
Add a heaping scoop of vanilla Syntrax nectar protein powder, a dash of cinnamon and perhaps an extra Splenda packet
Cover and shake 5 seconds
Top off the cool protein with hot coffee
Cover and tilt gently to blend

Always add hot liquid on top of cool protein slurry to keep the protein from clumping and cooking 

Grrrrr...........PCP sent me a copy of my labs. Vampires forgot to fill a tube for my PTH.  The one result I was really waiting to see (calcium issues, Reclast)

Missing checking in, going to try to start fresh with my eating tomorrow, my plan is to go a week without a pop and to not have chocolate unless it it a protein shake - so thats the plan

Good to see you!  I know you can do this and get back on track.
