I have to use a bar and a shake. I also have caloric room for alcohol in the evening. Apparently these three items are not very popular in this group. You can search the group for "Where can I find 250mg of calcium daily" if you're curious. I have mostly skipped that thread, sorry. I am not into bars myself, and I do not think that I have seen any "bar" that would have 40% of protein or more. Shakes, yes, they could supply a lot of protein. How do you feel eating so much protein. I never tried eating that much. i The original goal was 45/45/10 but I found that nearly impossible to reach while sharing dinner with my family. I compromised with the less aggressive balance (40/40/20). 6:30am – Multi-grain English muffin w/natural peanut butter, black coffee (1) and a multi-vitamin 9:30am - Tri-O-Plex protein bar 10:30am - Banana 12:00am - Protein shake (Myoplex) 1:00pm - Spinach wrap sandwich (roast beef, turkey, tuna salad, chicken salad or salami cold cuts with veggies) and a multi-vitamin 3:00pm - Cottage cheese 5:00pm - Martinis (2) 6:00pm - Varies: Beef, poultry and seafood choices Vegetable sides or salad Whole wheat pastas or whole grain rice choices 2126 Calories 13.5% Fat 43.4% Carbs (net) 43.1% Protein You're correct. The bar doesn't have 40% protein but the shake doesn't have 40% carbs so the combination balances well. Since the bar is higher in carbs than the shake I eat that before my lunch time workout. The Tri-O-Plex bar is made with whole grains too so I get all complex carbs. I feel fine but that also has to do with the timing of my meals. I have plenty of energy and most of my muscles recover from workouts in two days which is normal. Legs sometimes take three days to recover. -- Cheese http://cheesensweets.com/contact-cheese/ |

I have to use a bar and a shake. I also have caloric room for alcohol in the evening. Apparently these three items are not very popular in this group. You can search the group for "Where can I find 250mg of calcium daily" if you're curious. Not everyone here has a problem with protein bars and shakes, or alcohol for that matter. Some of the most successful people in this group regularly use all 3. I use whey or soy powder in my cereal/oatmeal each morning and in a pinch I'll eat a half a protein bar. I don't drink alcohol anymore for medical reason or else I'd be saving some points for it. Thanks for your support! -- Cheese http://cheesensweets.com/contact-cheese/ I use protein powder in my oatmeal. It's a great way to get extra protein. I don't use the bars too often but always have one in my bike bag in case I need something while out on the bike. I prefer bananas but they get a little messy if you forget to take it out of the bagg Beverly I always eat a banana before my workout. I don't know why it is but I'm always stronger with a banana in my belly. -- Cheese http://cheesensweets.com/contact-cheese/ |

Since the bar is higher in carbs than the shake I eat that before my lunch time workout. I too use 'higher than normal' protein levels. I do a protein shake for breakfast as well as post workout. The bars seem a bit expansive to me. I tend to have chicken breast and salad for lunch, rather than bars. Ray |
