C1BandedBabe Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 How many grams of protein do we need a day?? I found a really good protein drink that I really like its Isopure and its Apple melon and it has no carbs and 40g of protein for 20 oz. only 160 calories too.. Its really good and was wondering if that is all the protein I really need in a day..
mona-camille Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 In reality, it is a percent of your weight. But, I forget what that is. I think for most people 60 grams is like the minimum.
momonamission Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Here is a simple way. I had to look it back up to make sure I had it right. Take your weight and divide it by half and subtract 10. GOOD LUCK!!!DAWN
C1BandedBabe Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Posted June 10, 2008 Soo Dawn if I weigh 201 this morning I would take 201/2=100.5-10=90.5....... SO I should be having 90 grams of protein a day, am I right?
Kimra Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Trina.. How many grams of fat are in the isopure??
C1BandedBabe Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Posted June 10, 2008 Kimra I dont have the bottle on me right now but I want to say it has 0 fat grams...
C1BandedBabe Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Posted June 10, 2008 Its very expensive... I paid like 4.69 for a 20 ounce bottle from GNC yesterday.. the big bottle of it is like 68 dollars..
Dontondan Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 That is pretty expensive. I will just stick to my $14 whey protein at 27 grams a scoop....comes in a huge bucket! I just mix it with some yogurt (Vanilla flavored powder, fruit flavored yogurt) and it tastes like cheesecake (I am good at using my imagination!)
C1BandedBabe Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Posted June 10, 2008 Umm I might have to try that Dontondan cuz that powder is very expensive but the drink was very good though.
Kim2BSlim Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 My Aunt that was banded with me drinks isopure. She really likes it too. I am a Slim Fast Optima girl. LOL
Blazn Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 That is pretty expensive. I will just stick to my $14 whey protein at 27 grams a scoop....comes in a huge bucket! I just mix it with some yogurt (Vanilla flavored powder, fruit flavored yogurt) and it tastes like cheesecake (I am good at using my imagination!) Dontondan, you mix one scoop in a regular-size cup of yogurt? And you can't taste the protein powder, right? - That sounds like something I could handle. What kind of protein powder do you use - brand?
Kimra Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Bump just means that if you want a topic to be read again or added to, then you bump it and it puts it back up to the top of the forum as unread.
