Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Hi Tina! There is a back issue of *Muscle Media* magazine that includes an entire article that deals with your question. And the article is available online! :-) Here is the URL: http://www.musclemedia.com/magazine/v82/v82_beyondplainchicken.asp I hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Cassie, I eat a lot of lowfat cottage cheese, tuna, shrimp, chicken and Precision Protein powder.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Hey Tina, Try venison it's an excellent choice, 146 calories, 29.5 grams protien, 2.2 fat and 0 carbs in each 3 ounce serving. Ziad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2001 Report Share Posted January 30, 2001 <<I've noticed a significant difference when I've compared the nutritional content of Soy and Whey protein powders. Specifically, although protein powders such as Simply Protein Whey are extremely low in carbs, and require that a carb be added to make a BFL Authorized Meal - the carbs in Simply Protein Soy are closer to being *even* with the grams of protein. This makes me wonder whether adding a carb is even necessary. I've looked at the labels on a number of other companies' Soy products and noticed the same thing.>> This is Simply Soy and some others. I've bought varieties of high quality soy isolates that are 95% protein and minimal carbs. Bottom line check the label. I'm working my way through the Simply Soy and will likely not go there again because of the carbs unless I want a meal replacement. <<Another thing: every Soy protein powder I've ever seen is far higher in sodium than the Whey equivalents. This probably won't be a problem - if the Soy protein is used in moderation.>> I have not noticed sodium content on the high protein model. I'll check on the Total Soy this evening. The only downside I've run across is mixability of soy compared to whey. It was interesting to note Hussman's comment on whey in Myoplex, to the effect that Aspartame was intentionally added to supplement the phenylalanine amino acid which is limited in whey protein. kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 <the carbs in Simply Protein Soy are closer to being *even* with the grams of protein. This makes me wonder whether adding a carb is even necessary. > Look closely, aren't most of the carbs in Simply Soy Protein sugars? That's what I read on the label. I tried a container and decided to go back to Whey. Although I liked the taste a lot (I mixed it with skim milk). Cheryl C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 I make an omelet with veggies - onions, green pepper, celery. Top it with salsa. like an IHOP garden omelet, only just the whites. I also use whey in milk for breakfast sometimes. Regards. ----- Original Message ----- From: chris Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 6:59 AM Subject: [ ] protein suggestions Hey all, I'm soliciting suggestions from the group. I'd like to raise my overall protein intake without adding a lot of excess calories. What do you all do for protein? Egg whites would be an obvious choice, but preparing them in a palatable way is difficult. Any ideas? chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I too prefer the real thing, and even eat a bit of yolk as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 What is amazing to me is the ability to add protein and feel warmer and yet not gain weight. The energy lost from extra protein changed into glucose makes my calorie intake higher. A loss of "efficiency" I guess. But useful in winter.
