Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Im reading many of you refer to ENSURE drinks. Which ones do you use? Im surprised because they contain so much sugar. The ones Ive checked: ENSURE (REG)(250 cal) only 9g of protein and 18g of sugars. ENSURE PLUS (360 cal) 13g protein and 16g sugars.ENSURE High Protein (230 cal) only contains 12g protein and a whopping 19 grams of sugars. ENSURE Light (200 cal) comes in with only 10g of protein and 18g of sugars. Being that it was instructed to me to limit sugars to 5g per serving of anything Ill stick with Atkins (170 cal) shakes w/each can giving me 20g of protein and only 1g of sugars. Helps me achieve the instructed 80g of protein per day a lot faster. I should also mention that the ENSURE drinks are only 8 oz each and the Atkins is 11 oz. My fav is Atkins (dark) chocolate royale. ~~Pat~~ Orlando, FL 252/189/160 (-63) BMI 37.2/28.5/23.6 52 Years Young LAP-RNY 12/10/03 Wayne English, MD Ft Lauderdale, FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
