Homemade protein drinks??

[columbo]

Was wondering if anyone has a good recipe for a protein drink. The one's I've bought so far taste like crap. I'm 51 and about to go into the police academy in August and need to continue my effort to drop some weight (10-15 pounds) before then. I don't want to die in the first week. It's hard to cut down on the diet and would like to replace some of it with meal replacement. Also, was thinking about PX90. I'm no whipper snapper so if any of you older guys have used it and had luck (or not) give me a moment. Thanks.

I just usually make a smoothie and pour in some of that egg whites in a bottle stuff.

Makes it taste better too!

Actually that is not the best band for your buck. Your body can only motabolize about 30 MABY 40 grams of protien at a time so you are actually wasting 22-12grams of protien. The rest that is not metabelized is excreted out.

didn't know that

If you have a headache, whatever you do, don't throw in a couple of advil liqui-gels. Then you'll have a headache while drinking something that tastes like a bucket of crap and has little chunks of plastic in it.

Do you have source for that? I've never seen or heard that anywhere. Not saying it isn't true, but I'd like some evidence of that before I go changing my diet...

The amount protein that you can metabolize is a highly debatable subject. If that were true then no one would consume over 200g a day.

Indeed, that is what I've always heard.

If you're working out a lot and need more protein in your diet, I've heard that you can absorb anywhere in the neighborhood of 40-50g in one sitting (and I guess if you're a huge bodybuilder, you can probably hit up more).

General rule of thumb if you're going to be working out and/or cutting down on your fat intake is to eat 1-1.5g protein per day. Also keep in mind that eating foods with a lot of fiber in them is a great way to cut down on calories as they tend to be very filling foods.

Lol, I think he layed out a days worth of meals there.
I used to mix 1 cup of egg whites, 2 cups of milk, a scoop of whey and 1/2 cup of oatmeal for when I didnt have time to sit down and eat a meal at work. After the oats sit in the milk overnight they soften up and the whole thing actually tasted alright.

You can always buy a coffee grinder and throw the oats in there to make it into a powder. It mixes much better.

Throw in a teaspoon or two of Community Instant Coffee Dark Roast and you got a great breakfast shake.

The dietician at my health club told me 40g of protien is it at a time. Of course lots of people take in more of a lot of things they can't metabolize every day. What your body can't use it just passes through.
