questions about liquid protein
VSG on 03/05/12
What kind of protein is it? Whey isolate? Whey concentrate? Collagen?

Are you talking about things like this? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Body-Fortress-Whey-Protein-Shot-26 -gram-Fruit-Punch-2.9-fl-oz/10322370#Item+Description
Protein is not a liquid but can come suspended in liquids. Perhaps you can provide a link to what you are talking about?

That's mostly collagen, which is made from the skin and hooves of cows and pigs and is not absorbed well because it doesn't have all the amino acids. It has a little whey thrown in but not enough to make it worth the money.

You have to drink water every day and protein mixed in with your water counts as water. So, if you sipped three protein shakes a day, that would give you 75 grams of protein each day and that would only be 30 ounces of water. You need to drink three times that much of water every day anyway. So, it is actually not that hard to get in those 30 ounces (75 grams of protein).
Remember, if you keep sipping every five minutes, over the course of the day, it will be easy. You can't think of protein as a meal time task anymore. You will need to drink it all day long for a while.
Check out the following protein. It is very good, and it has zero fat and zero carbs. And, just mix it with water.
Syntrax Nectar is available at Vitacost and they have great shipping deals. http://www.vitacost.com/productResults.aspx?x=0&y=0&ntk=prod ucts&ss=1&Ntt=syntrax%20nectar Also, they have great blender bottles that have a surgical steel mixer ball inside. Blender bottles are really nice after surgery because it takes so long to drink your protein. This was you can just shake it up as needed. You can also get them at Vitacost. http://www.vitacost.com/BlenderBottle-Blue
