So.... can we drink protein shakes if you think you are not eating enough protein? does anyone do this already? if so, how does it affect your sway? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I have two boys and I had a protein shake everyday after I lifted weights or as a morning snack. Sometimes for a snack I would mix in cottage cheese with the powder for more protein.
I'm swaying for a boy and I do drink whey protein shakes after I have lifted weights,I don't use them as a snack or meal replacement and its not everyday, but probably like 3 times a week
@NewYorkmom... what kind of protein shake did you drink? is it the one you make your own? someone at the gym told me to be careful not to drink so much because it overworks your kidney? I've never had one before and was wondering which one to get... Dloui128 what kind do you use?
I like Muscle Provider by Beverly Nutrition and Problend. I ate over 100grams of protein a day when I conceived my sons and lots of walnuts and almonds.
I use the american whey isolate
I guess we shouldn't be replacing a meal though right? since we are not supposed to be losing weight? ugh .. I can't stand the thought of putting on weight. what about supplements? are you guys taking any for blue sway? does anyone know if Fertile CM and Fertaid for men is okay to take?
Kim-no I don't think you should be using it to replace a meal
I'm not sure if they are ok to take for men, but I do take the fertile CM and it seems to help with CM
I personally think it's better to get your protein thru real foods rather than highly processed "artificial" proteins that are in protein shakes. 100% for sure, stay away from the soy ones.Quote:
