ckiki Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I looked on my gallon of 2% milk, and there is 11 grams of protein in 8 oz of milk. So I am drinking 16 oz right now, and getting the rest of my protein in for the day. It tastes a whole lot better then those protein drinks, and it's really filling. Just a suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a suggestion I discovered that too during my post-op liquid phase. And today, I discovered that a serving of five Swedish meatballs was 190 calories and only 12 grams of protein, less than my protein drink. I had assumed that actual animal protein would be a richer source, but who knew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the band helps restrict the meatballs and the milk goes right through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy26 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I hate almost all protein drinks but I love the Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks. They come in hot chocolate size packs and you mix them with milk and it turns into around 20gr of protein for a 10oz glass and is filling. Its tastes like chocolate milk. not gritty or chalky like most protein drinks and its full of vitamins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandDiva Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Keep in mind milk 2% milk still has fat in it. You can get the same protein with Skim. That is what I drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mona-camille Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Ii think you can get some non-flavored protein powder at GNC. I know a gal who pust some in her coffee each day and doesn't even taste it. So, I would think you could put some in most things you eat for an added boost. I haven't tried it myself, but that is because I like the protein drinks. (GNC 100% whey protein chocolate caramel MMMMMMMM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
