Protein Info

 Ok so I'm 6 days post op and I can no longer stand this unjury protien my doc has me on it actually almost made me throw up today, so I'm goin down to GNC today. My question is, what do I need to look for in a good protein? ( like protien per serving calories fiber sugar ect...)

 for me, my nutritionist wants it to be over 25g protein, under 200 calories per 8oz. (or so. I have a few shakes that mix up into 12 oz water.) but essentially what i look at is 25+protein, under 200 calories. 


And yes, they are always different depending on the plan your doctor has, that's just my guidelines. 

hi there
i am 7 days out and am using premiere shakes http://www.premiernutrition.com/protein-shake.html  they have 30 g of protein and 1 sugar with 160 calories.  the taste is not bad at all when they are very cold:)  actually tastes like a flat chocolate shake.  they have them at sams and costco if you have those stores near you.  check with your nutritionist and see if they approve:)  good luck!

Personally I looked for something that was:

All natural (no artificial flavors etc.)
Whey protein
Under 150cal
25gm of protein'
0gm carb
0gm sugar
Fine powder/mixes easily

My personal fav is the About Time brand, Birthday Cake- it's delicious!

About time is my favorite too and I have tried many.  I actually do not detect any protein taste in it.

It is not as sweet as many are either.
