protein

Based on the ingredient list, its a combination of whey proteins, very cheap sugar (maltodextrin) and every non effective "fat burner" supplement.

Suggesting "eat this to lose weight fast" is sooooooo Diet Industry.

Giving it that daft name doesn't negate the calories in it.

If I want/need to supplement my protein then 30g of my protein powder mixed with 250ml of skimmed milk gives me a nice tasting milkshake with 35g of protein for 197 calories.

Ooooo - what shake do you use? I'm just working out that I'm eating waaayyyy too little protein (like, 20g a day instead of the suggested 96g according to the IIFYM calculator.) That sounds like an easy win to add to my pea protein supplements in my porridge and soup every day...

Never heard of it, so googled it.
21 grams protein per 565 calories. Not a very good source of protein in my opinion. They do seem to have a multivitamin in every shake. I didn’t check the price, but I’m guessing you could do better.

Wow, just saw this, so will repeat my comment from another thread. A friend of mine in college used some protein shake that was supposed to help put on mass for those who had trouble keeping weight on (he was trying to build muscle), and so it was protein and higher cal. I just looked up what I think is a similar product and it (the powder) is 26 g of protein and 400 cals (called Mega Max). This product therefore has MORE cals than one intended for people trying to put on or maintain weight. What scammy marketing.

@skinnyrev2b

The Protein Works, this one is their Naked Whey Protein 90 Vanilla Velvet. It's sweetened with Stevia which I prefer to Sucralose (taste).
Worth having a careful review of your food choices though as supplementation is really supposed to be a supplement rather than the main event.

Are you sure you use correct database entries? May I ask what you eat throughout the day? I'm not super high on protein, but still get about 60-70gr each day without trying.

Thanks for being concerned enough to ask - I've gone back to my entries and I was about 40g a day usually, but have been edging up to 60g without supplements - thanks @sijomial , I'll defo keep that in mind - and am now pleasantly surprised to see I'm at about 80g with the pea protein, so maybe I'll just stick with that.

But yes, am vegetarian which makes it slightly more difficult. But not impossible as I'm discovering...

Sorry to hijack your post @CAT11469

Kaged Must has good products. They have a new plant based protein powder. If it's anything like their other products, it should taste pretty good
