Hi Lea, I usually have to suppliment ~ I'm hooked on Muscle Milk light (milk chocolate) it has 20 g. of protein... Sometimes if I want something sweet I'll have Oh Yeah Vanilla PB wafer (14 g protein for 2 bars) and I keep some of the South Beach Cinnamon raisin protein bars in my car (10 g. protein) I'm afraid to try protein in my coffee ~ won't it break the protein down and not be worth it??? Doris

I definitely supplement. I do one or two shakes a day, depending on how my appetite for food is. I'm a vegetarian, so most days, I don't meet all of my protein requirements with food alone. I use EAS protein from Costco. Chocolate and Vanilla. I like to use the vanilla to make iced lattes....vanilla protein, instant decaf coffee, ice and a splash of sf syrup in my flavor of choice that day. Delish! I also like Micellar Milk for a RTD.

I am able to get all of my protein through food. Sometimes I will have a Myoplex smoothie with strawberries and ppineapple. I love Zone bars- chocolate mint is my favorite.

I put my Unjury protein powder in my coffee. I use the Vanill or Chocolate, but I only do it once a day. I will drink a NSA CIB later in the day for added protein if I am falling short food wise getting it in. I have a Sunbeam version of the Magic Bullett, and a Magic Bullett as well. I prefer the Sunbeam version to the real one.

Per my nut, I try not to supplement. I do carry a protein bar with me just in case but haven't had one in ages. I only like protein plus smores flavor.

I have tried several different protein drinks and the only one that really goes down easy is the Isopure Ready to Drink Alpine Punch. I think that it tastes like fruit punch. I had been drinking 1 per day which is a total of 40 g's of protein, but I have decided to up my protein from food (eating more meat) and only drink 1/2 of an Isopure per day. LB

I use elite vanilla protein and my magic bullet to create wonderful creations I also use matrix chocolate. I tried the nector 'sweets' chocolate sample and think I'll switch to that because OMG it's good.

Hi I supplement every day with a chocolate protein shake. 40 grs of whey protein isolate with 1 cup lactose free fat free milk. 200 cal. 10 grms carbs. Biochem Ultimate Protein System. I have tried to get my protein in without supplementing but it just becomse too much food and calories and leads to slow weightloss. I just cant eat that much food. But, I will say, protein shakes are lititimate "real food" so I'm going with that angle! AS
