Protein supplement poll

 How far out are you?

How many shakes do you drink a day?


I am 10 months out and still need 1.5 scoops of protein shake a day.
There is just no way I can eat enough protein to meet my goal of 75g. I'm totally ok with the shakes but see many who are trying to get off them entirely.

How about you?

Over a year, and I like my shake :)

I have one a day, first thing in the morning when I get up- before coffee.. I needed it for the first 6+mo, now I just like it, and like that I can now hit closer to 100g a day incorporating it.

2 years out and I still have one every morning----1/2 on the way to the gym or work and the rest mid morning. Not only starts the day with 40g of protein---it also calms my rather acidy stomach even though I still take my daily Nexium.

I don't plan on stopping---perhaps changing up the brand occasionally but still at least 1 each am.

I am 3 months, get in one a day.  My goal is only 60g, however, I can't make that without my morning shake!

 

I'm a 2 a day girl at 2+ years out. 1 in the morning while getting ready for work and 1 as soon as I get home. I dont need the protein supplements because I can easily eat 100 grams of protein a day. I LOVE my shakes so I dont plan on stopping them anytime soon!!

 what kinds do you guys use that you love it?!  still searching for one I love!!! lol

Mostly I usually make my own with good unflavored protein (NOW brand whey isolate) and some natural thickener- glucomannan powder, instant coffee & espresso powders and flavors/sweeteners.. I make it the night before so it's good, cold & thick by morning.. today I had an egg-nog one (same base, but omitted the coffee & used SF syrup).. I've also done peppermint patty made from scratch.. and I do like Syntrax- Matrix line (protein blend) as well as the Nectars (whey only).. Mint Cookie does rock. I plan on using it to make protein ice cream soon, with a titch more peppermint extract added in..

I use Lean Body by Labrada. But you need to know that for its 17 ounces it has 260 cals (high), 8-9 carbs (depending on flavor) for 40g of protein.  260 is pretty high on my max of 800 but I've been using it for a long time and it's my breakfast and am snack. Tastes like melted ice cream to me.

If I know I'm having a higher cal day---a meal out---I'll have an EAS powdered shake for 130 cals but only 23 g of protein. Jus****er, ice, scoop of protein and "orange sunrise" Crystal Lite. Kind of like a weak Tang (but I use allot of water).

Just two months out, but two a day here, too. My new favoriteis mint cookie matrix, but I use click, premier, about time, etc. seriously, the mint cookie is good, and I am not really a minty chocolate girl. I have one with water before my coffee in the morning, and I am trying to hit 100g since I am weight lifting several times a week

9 months out.  None since 6 weeks.
