Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Hi Cammie, I just tried to post back to you, but somehow I sent it into cyberspace somewhere.... I was thinking, how about carnation instant breakfast for your freind? Tastes great and the ingredients are very similar to ensure. A good protein powder also might do the trick, soy or Whey based powders often have a better flavor. I like to add sweetened soy milk for easier digestion. Don't forget the banana for potassium, throw the whole mess in the blender and wohlah! Good for her for remembering to eat BEFORE her work out. Carbs & protein are neccesary for energy, otherwise she may burn muscle instead of building it! B. ZNS www.zip-n-squeeze.com > Hey guys! I'm looking for help for a friend.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Cammie, I replied to you on 's site...I use a product by EAS called Myoplex. It comes in powder, ready to drink shake, or soft bars. You can get it at GNC or health/grocery stores. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Hey Cammie, I'm a big fan of Boost Plus (strawberry flavor). It's the easiest way for me to get a fast 360 calories. It's got protein, fat, and carbs. I usually mix in a little milk with it, just to cut the thickness a bit. This is usually what I eat for breakfast or afternoon snack. I haven't been able to find another drink that tastes yummy and has so many calories. Seems like everything else out there is less than 200 calories. Wish your friend luck. Tell her it gets better! > Hey guys! I'm looking for help for a friend. She's not having > surgery, but she is new in braces and having trouble dealing with > anything but liquid foods at this point.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 How about one of the protein drinks? I prefer met-rx. It comes in a powder that you can use milk or water with. Have the protein equuivalent of a steak dinner. Good flavors too. PLUS..... you can put fruit in the blender with the powder and liquid and makes it more tasty... Hope it helps because I'll be sticking with met-rx for a while post op.
