Re: Help - vitamin information needed soon...I'm fading fast....

[Guest guest]

What kind of iron are you taking? What kind of calcium?

Protein shakes only SEEM expensive, when you think of them as an adder. When

you think of them as a choice, they become very cheap indeed. Sounds like

you are not in good enough shape to launch into plastics just yet. You

might do fine, or you might spend the next year recovering. And not working,

but sucking down home health care cost is a LOT more expensive than shakes.

Before you ask your body to recover from a major wound, you really have to

build some fuel in it to use for said healing. Otherwise, how can it heal

for you, when it's fighting for minimal survival?

I find I use a protein mix shake that I get at BJ's Wholesale club, I

think its $13 for a huge container that lasts about a month of a once

a day shake. To this I add 2 scoops of nonfat dry milk to boost the

protein. Mixed with a banana and a cup of skim milk served over ice,

it gives me 30 gms of protein for my morning start. I dont take an

iron pill at all but have not had any issues with my iron in my blood

work. I do use twinlabs chewable calcium citrate, they taste like

big sweet tarts. I also use an over the counter prenatal vitamin

every day. Its key that you take the nutrients that you need to stay

healthy. Remember the protein shake is a replacement for a meal.

Just think of how much money you used to spend at a trip to Mcs

and put the protein shake cost into perspective
