Protein Shakes Tim!!

[Maximum6]

Tim..my summer school starts in 4 days..and i just found out there is no class changes..so i'll be stuck in the classroom for 5hrs!!! I need Protein Shakes...What do you recommend?

I already thought about using the KETO SHAKES..but i'm not sure. Can you review it and tell me if it is safe for me? www.keto.com

Go to keto shakes....i thought about getting the vanilla or the EGG NOG one!! ;D

Plz help....4days tim!!!!

Max, Those are way too expensive for the tiny amount you get for the money.

Go to a supplement store(not GNC) and get the 2or 5 pound jug of Pro-Lab whey protein or Optimum Nutrition whey protein.

Put the powder in a shaker jar and just add water.

Many more servings ,better product,and way more economical.

[Jesse]

optimum nutrition tastes the best IMO, plus it has a great amino profile and it is not all that expensive. they have a cookies and cream flavor that is pretty damn good!! ;D

Hmm..i'll do some reasearch on the products you named. I'm basically looking for something SAFE to use.....no milk (if possible), no sugar, fruit, wheat.
Has at least 30g of protein perserving...as each of my meals is about that. No CARBS (i want to add my oatmeal). And no FAT (i like to add flaxseed)

I'll get back to you guys after i do some reasearch on the products..brb.

O...i know alot of protein powder have Chocolate Flavor. I would like Chocolate flavor..but isn't that Caffeine in there? With all the confusion with Caffeine...i would like to avoid caffeine. Does Chocolate Flavor have any?

I personally thought the first one was good..cause of the vitamins and stuff...but i don't know..cause you said to get "WHEY" protein..and that other one says "MEAL REPLACEMENT"

You guys are the experts....what do you think?
I don't need alot of this stuff..as i'm only using it for summer school....

[Jesse]

i use #3 only... IMO most bang for your buck!

[Tim Wescott]

I use #3 also!!

My wife just bought me 5 pounds of iy for my birthday!

[Maximum6]

You're right Jaxon...i think i'll go get 2lbs of the Vanilla Ice cream one. It seems thats the only SAFE FLAVOR (no cocoa, frutose,etc.) there is.

Hmm how does protein shake taste? I was planning on putting in 3TBSP of flaxseed in it...hehe.

[Maximum6]

Tim..what flavor you use?

[Maximum6]

Hey guys..i'm stuck in choosing flavor. So far i can tell there are two safe flavors.....Vanilla Ice Cream...and Double Chocolate.

All that other Natural Whey has Frutose in it....and the other flavors have too much crap in it.

Double Rich Chocolate
Protein blend (whey protein isolate, Whey protein concentrate, and whey peptides), cocoa, artificial flavor, lecithin, acesulfame potassium

Vanilla Ice Cream
Ingredients: Protein Blend (Whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate and Whey Peptides), Artificial Flavor, Lecithin, Acesulfame Potassium.

Have any of you tried these flavors.....?? Which do you think i should get? I mean i'm still new to Protein Shakes and stuff...and well i want chocolate..but The Cocoa is caffeine..and i hear all these problems with caffeine...and i also hear Vanilla is too sweet and stuff.

Also...How does protein shake taste?

The last time i tried it the person who made it made me sick.....he put orange juice and milk in it!!

[Tim Wescott]

I never tried those particular flavors.
Right now I have Pro-Lab Vanilla flavored.

Just mix it with water ,it`s not bad at all in my opinion.

The stuff back in the day was terrible,lumpy and chalky.

Protein powder has come a long way trust me on that!

[Maximum6]

Tim...i was just thinking about the Cocoa in the Double
Rich Choco. flavor.

If i was to drink this protein shake and eat 1/4 cup of white rice....for PWO....would the Caffeine from cocoa effect me?

[Maximum6]

Tim....i 've talked to some people at bodybuilding.com.

They say protein shakes CANNOT BE USED as MEAL REPLACEMENTS...well i'm using it as meal replacement is that okay?

[Tim Wescott]

They have lees carbs or no carbs but you are still taking in protein, if that`s your objective,then shakes are fine.

Bodybuilding.com`s message board is populated by a bunch of kid`s who for the most part read a lot of musclebook`s but have very little real world experience training.

Either a MRP or shake is fine ,just decide which macronutrients you want,and grab your choice.

[Maximum6]

See..i'm going supplement shopping later today...and will get the protein powder for sure. But if it can't be used as meal replacement..i'll need to know so i'll grap a couple MRPS as well..

I think i'll start using Protein Shakes as PWO>....if i like it. ;D

Tim..i got my self a 1lb can of the double choco.

I was wondering..is the sticky thing that says "For your safety" suppose to be easy to rip? Cause mine wasn't very sticky..and was concerned....

anyway..i can't believe the smell of it..smells just like real chocolate...it smells delicious...i gotta try it out soon.....

Not sure what brand you decided on, but just about every 5lb tub of ON 100% whey that I buy... (About one 5lb container every two weeks) The item you are talking about tends to stay with the lid when I open it up the first time. I really can't recall the last time I had to take one off.

[Maximum6]

I think its alright...its not that it wasn't there...it was just not very sticky..and it riped up when i popped it open.

The container was sealed with the plastic thingy on the top so i think it is safe.

yes..my Brand was a 1lb ON Double Rich Choco. Whey.

[Maximum6]

Tim...when you put old fashioned oats in your shake..do you just put it in..or do you grind them into powder then put it in the blender..?? Coffee grind it first...like flaxseed..and then into the blender with the powder?

[Maximum6]

I have a little problem. I've just about finished my 1lb tub of Double Choc....(bought a VAnilla ice cream 1lb tub).....what should i do with the remaining protein powder in the Double Choco? Its a little bit less than 1 whole scoop....what can i do with it??
