GNC LEAN SHAKE???

I was planning on buying the shake today, I will let you know once I try! :0)

I'm not sure if your looking for a protein shake, but this isn't that great.
This does not have "lots of of protein". Esecially for the money you pay.

GNC - Lean Shake. $30.00 for 1.7lbs that hold 16 servinings.
2 scoops per serving.
The ratio - 66% carb 20% protein 10% fat

Total 180 calories - With 30grams of carbs which 5 grams are sugar. Not sure what the other 25 grams of carbs are.
2 grams of fat.
ONLY 9 grams of protein - Reminds me of slim fast.

Compared to.. (I'm biased with Dymatize Elite Protein powder)
Mix with water
1 scoop - 114 calories
24 grams or protein
0 grams of sugar
1.5grams of fat

$47 for a 5lb Tub - 73 servings.

GNC lean shake- $1.88 per serving - 9 grams of protein
Dymatize elite PP- $ 0.64 per serving - 24 grams or protein.


Oh yah Dymatize taste great in Chocolate and Orange - Getting ready to open up my Banana flavoured.

Ok I tried the GNC lean shake for 3 months and it just wasn't enough protein and it didn't really help me out much so i switched to GNC AMP. It is a whey protein and the serving size is three scoops but i do one with one cup of milk. One scoop of the protein is about 93 calories plus your milk which I used skim so that meal turns out to be about 190 calorie breakfast, perfect for my breakfast before I go to the gym. In one scoop of the protein there is 20g of protein. I have been using this protein for about 2 months and I love it so much! No it doesn't make you bulky. Try it out, I am sure you will love it. The vanilla is good with milk and water, the chocolate is only good with milk. I haven't tried the strawberry. I like the vanilla just because I can add a banana and ice and make a yummy smoothie.

I posted my 2 cents there.

One thing to remember is that GNC Total Lean is for weight loss and weight loss only. It does exactly what it is advertised to do. When you look at the enclosed meal plan you will see their are snacks and meals that contain protein.

Eat a boiled egg for a snack, thats what I do.

It needs to be noted that weight loss meal replacement shakes are completely different than those that are designed for lifters, marathoners, and body builders , that is why they are called protein shakes and not weight loss shakes.

Some people can't handle the higher protein because they are not burning it off like a body builder or even a runner would.

It is important to find out through a nutritionist what your personal nutritional values should be based on your body, weight and fitness.

I say, if you want to try it, try the single serving pack they have available for about a $1 instead of buying a whole container and see if it a good match for you. Just because someone else does not like it or it did not work for them does not mean it will be the same for you.
