After the horrible day I had...I still managed to get in about 85 ounces of water-like substances.  Malto Meal Peanut Butter Granola Bar Roasted Green Peas (1/2 cup - 2 servings) Most of a Healthy Choice, Cafe Steamers, Chicken Tuscany (mostly the meat and veggies, no pasta) Honey Roasted Peanuts (one at a time, slowly) Half a small cornish game hen(maybe a cup of meat) , peas (canned) Calories: 1610 Fat: 69 Carbs: 166 Protein: 96 I did count the totals on the Cafe Steamer but I believe my carbs were lower because of not eating all the pasta...

I see we got our malto meal back...hehehe.. nice totals today so you made up for yesterday. Its hard to know how much to put in sometimes on those things.

Good job and I'm glad you are eating better today.

well I've found that adding 1/2 scoop of protein powder to my oatmeal really helps me in the am. It allows me to skip the am protein drink so I'm not trying to get them both down in the hour and a half before school.  My day was low today. Which after the previous day, is fine with me. I didn't take a lunch to school and so that messes things all up.  b - oatmeal w/ protein  l/d combo - 1/4 of monte cristo sandwhich and fries snacks - 1 piece of string cheese; 1 sb cereal bar; 1 protein drink  Calories  886 Fat  31 Carbs  72 Protein  69  UGH, that WAS a low day for me. 

How did that taste for you.. I tried it the other day and didnt like the taste.. could be the protein you use as apose to what I use. wow.. low day is right.. that lunch/dinner combo with only one snack did you in. Hope you day is better today for food choices.. I know it can get crazy sometimes.

The protein didn't really taste at all. I had vanilla cuz that's all I had. AnyWhey unflavored is best in it, absolutely no taste (to me anyway). heehee Yes, its not a good thing to get to busy in the morning and forget to make my lunch. UGH!!! I am doing much better today though.  HUGS

Good morning, b....protein drink...120 cal....25g protein. l...beef stew and rice...about a cup cup s...granola bar. d....chicken salad...am i helped my son finish up his fries s...protein drink. total cal....1010...protein 70g and drank about 60oz of water.. i have a question, about the regular protein powder can u mix it in a hot drink , i read somewhere tht its not good to  add in anything hot...something about breaking it down??????? i know theres protein tht can be added to hot things just asking about the regular powder. thank u. be blessed

Here's what I know about adding protein powder to hot drinks, per surgeon and nut, also on the label info of many powders...Cannot be added to boiling hot drinks, not because of breakdown of protein, but because the heat causes the powder to thicken up and get chalky and lumpy ( I've had this happen, )...I make hot chocolate with protein powder all winter, to cool it down I put in about 1/4 cup of ice cold milk and stir in the protein powder to break it down so its not lumpy, then add the water when is comes to a boil, the cold from the milk keeps the overall temp low enough so the cocoa does not thicken up...Of course you have to drink it a bit faster, cause is cools off pretty quick too, but it works... Good Luck and Enjoy...Alesia

low day for you again. I have had a few of those in a row lately. it goes in spurts.. right now I am on the high end I think. I agree with Alesia. I havent heard you cant drink it in hot things, but if its to hot it doesnt work. It turns into a big clump you cant drink. I drink mine in cold but I used to drink it in warm milk. Not hot but warm. If I got it to hot I had to start over.

See ya tomorrow.
