Am I getting in too many calories with my protein drinks too fast
What I started to do since I can't tolerate drinking the protein shakes is mix it with yogurt. I used to use plain greek (80-130 cal) to one to two scoops of berry protein powder. I used GNC Lean (only 10grams of protein but better tasting, 50 cal). I have also used Body Fortress strawberry (52 grams of protein and like 150 cal per two scoops (I only use 1 scoop). If you have a Krogers near you they sell a yogurt called Carb master. It is made by Krogers. It only has 50 cal, and 1 gram of carbs and no sugar. It only contains 6-9 grams of protein. Mix it up real good and let it sit for 4-5 mins and mix again. It gets really thick like mousse. I eat one of these every morning for breakfast. It is way under 200 calories, feels me up and gives me close to half of my daily protein. The rest I get with lunch and dinner and cheese sticks for snack. I really don't count my carb count. The way I think is I am only eatting a few ounces and if it has some carbs in it o well. I am almost 6 months out and I have lost 57 lbs and only have 43 left to goal. I understand that I may not be loosing it as fast as others but, that is okay to me. We all know the faster you lose the more skin issues you will have.
