Starting to get my feet under me
I am a week out and starting to get my feet under me. The light went on and I figured out that if I had a Premier Protein (30 grams, 11 oz) for breakfast and a Matrix shake for lunch (23 grams, 8 oz) and another Premier for dinner, mix in 2 - 16 oz bottles of water - one in the morning and one in the afternoon - I would have 62 oz of fluids and 83 grams of protein.
I kept reading the instructions of 64 oz of fluids and 60-80 grams protein, it sounded so daunting but If I say to myself that I have to drink 3 protein shakes and 2 bottles of water it sounds doable!!

May I ask how they taste? I cannot find a shake that taste good. Have you tried their bars?
I am not at the bar stage yet so I can't say. I do like the Premier shakes that I got at Costco. They have to be very cold and I pour them in a glass to drink them. The first couple sips have a little funny taste but if I keep sipping, it tastes like chocolate milk by the time I finish. The Matrix shakes are sample packs that ordered and they taste ok to me mixed with water but when I add 2 Tbs of ff milk powder, they taste very good.
Order sample packs or go to GNC as they have a return policy.

When I make my protein shakes (Matrix Nectar Strawberry Cream) I put two scoops of protein mix so I am getting 46 grams per serving. Anyone else do this?
