Is it bad to have two protein shakes in one day? I’m on a very calorie restriction diet and I’m starving right now but nothing that I have sounds good but I’m tempted to drink another protein shake just to curb my hunger. It’s the premier protein brand. One shake has 160 calories and 30g of protein
I think premier protein drinks have a warning to drink only one a day
it has a bunch of other junk in it at high values
This is what it says. Doesn’t say to not drink two though but maybe that’s what’s implied
It also says to not use for weight reduction but I’m doing that. I eat other things
eh you could probably drink a couple of those every once in a while
the one i was talking about was a different product
Oh okay good, I mean this does have a lot of ingredients but nothing to make me too concerned not to consume them. They’re a good “treat” to help me not be so hungry
A better choice would be egg whites and quinoa with some veggies
I think those “ensure” drinks you need to limit those are high in fat and sugar and carbs and pretty low in protein
I’ve been eating too many eggs. Next grocery haul I want to get the carton of egg whites
How about fish?
From what I can see it is low carb. It shouldn’t stimulate your hunger. It should be ok to drink two a day
I love fish just don’t have any thawed from the freezer at the moment
Well I say drink the shake but prep yourself for future times when like today you’ve simply got to eat
I’ve eaten 700 calories today and it’s only 3pm I need to be careful
I might thaw the fish for tonight for dinner
Good plan @Hanna_Foxx . Got veggies?
I have tons of canned green beans(they always give me tons from the food bank)
Perfect! How about a serving of fruit?
I have nectarines but they aren’t ripe yet. I ate a banana earlier so I don’t need more banana today
Ok. Still doing good though
Got brown rice or quinoa?
No only white rice cause that’s what they give me from the food bank.
