Hi Everyone,
I was wondering what everyone's thinks about protein shakes? I just purchased some protein powder at a health food store.The guy that sold it to me, told me to take only one scoop a day (two is suggested).So the scoop plus the milk adds up to be about 200 cals.Which is not to bad I guess considering that I nibble more then 200 cals a day.
But while I am drinking this I can't help but think that I may put on weight that I don't want.I build muscle very easily. All of the fitness mags that I buy always talk about protein shakes and powders.
They are also quite tasty and may be sweet enough to cure my sweet tooth.They taste like milk shakes.Plus I don't think that I eat enough meat anyway.
I guess my question is ....as anyone had any bad experiences with protein shakes....or any good ones. I paid $70 for the stuff so either way I have to drink it.lol.The cashier that was there was telling me that she takes the same stuff that I bought and she was actually quit slim.Anyway any input on the subject would be great.
Thanks in advance..
Lori
