My protein saga continues ...

[thebamker]

I got my protein supplements yesterday. Can you pleas look at how big this fucking thing is? And I got two of them. I was expecting something the size of a can of baby formula.

And the worst part. I had to choke it down. Blech!!

I don't know how long it will take me to get through it, but I better be able to hulk smash the canister when I'm done. Only then will justice be served on my taste buds.

Are you training for WWE? What is this protein saga that you write of?

I joined a boxing gym to attempt to gain some strength in my weak, weak body. lol

I'm having a hard time meeting my nutritional needs and feel like I'm force feeding myself all the time.

I decided to try to drink my nutrients instead.  but my nutrients taste like poo

How does it taste? I stick with a vanilla flavor egg white protein powder that smells and tastes like cake batter. It's seriously delicious. Not just tolerable, actually enjoyable.

I have a vanilla one too.  I drank that one in milk after my class last night.  I didn't hate it, and I think that one will be ok.

I thought this one would be like a fruit juice, but it's WAY thicker than I imagined it could be.  Now that I forced it all down, I feel like I'm going to vom.

have you tried putting it in a smoothie? you'll barely taste it that way.

It's cherry flavor. I bet you can still taste it. haha.

and it's pretty much it's own smoothie. very thick.  I think I just keep using two scoops but put way more water in it.

I have to mix my protein powder with liquid in the blender, it makes it smoother. It feels too gritty for me when I hand shake it. I also add ice to it, that helps. I get the chocolate powder though in an attempt to make my body think it's getting dessert. My body knows it's not and is not amused.

haha! thank you @astrid

I feel like you should just pull a Gaston and eat five dozen eggs every morning to help you get large.

But then you would be roughly the size of a barge so that's probably no bueno.

Woah, how much water are you adding to it? I probably add 20+ ounces to one scoop. In a big shaker bottle. It shouldn't have the consistency of a smoothie. And one scoop is a good amount after a workout.

I do a smoothie every morning for breakfast which includes protein powder, fruit & veg. Best thing ever!

The instructions say 2-4oz of water to one scoop

I did 10oz of water, 2 scoops.

I'm going with your suggestion b/c holy crap.

Can you dump this powder in a smoothie, hence covering the ick flavor with something much better?

[thebamker]

Ok - I am fucking DYING of hilarity at this point.

it says to mix 2-4oz of liquid with 1 serving. but the serving is 1/4 of a scoop. I thought it was one scoop. so basically - I just drank 46 grams of protein this morning. (as well as last night)

Hi. I'm an idiot. lol!
