Protein shakes/drinks

Muscle & Fitness magazine is just a vehicle to sell supplements. Any "science" therein will be only the science that agrees with and speaks toward the supplements being advertised.

If you aren't a breakfast eater, then just save those calories for later. Problem solved.

if you skip breakfast you crash your metabolism for the whole day, just sayin

False, that's a myth that was debunked years ago. Your metabolism won't crash unless you skip all food for 3-4 consecutive days. Skipping breakfast and eating those breakfast calories later will actually boost your metabolism. Do some research into intermittent fasting.

I remember hearing about some study about kids and test scores being higher with those kids who ate breakfast compared to the ones that did not have breakfast on the news long ago. It was a nutrition bit they did. Breakfast might be a good idea there if that study still holds true.

Kids are different than adults.

Also, that's merely a correlative example. We have no idea if breakfast truly caused better score increases. There could be other potential variables, which is why studies established correlations are the grounds for more specific studies. This means we should look at studies that specifically examine the benefits of breakfast and if there are truly any benefits.

In adults, breakfast in the morning is overrated. After a while of skipping it, you'll easily function and hormones will begin to normalize at your new schedule.

. What is the age of some one who should be skipping breakfast meals be from a kid to an adult? Anyone know ?
A study published in 1998 in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine showed significantly higher math test scores after children ate breakfast. This and other research has clearly shown that children who consistently eat breakfast test higher in most academic areas. They are more alert and more prepared to endure the testing process.

Well when ever you all want eat is your bit. I eat my breakfast every morning since I wake up in the mornings. I guess even nighshift workers can still call breakfast when ever they get up. Reguardless of who thinks what, breakfast is not over rated for me as I intake many calories all through out the day and I need that constant food energy and also because I am always recovering from work outs.

You could eat 5000 calories in one meal, and it would have the same impact as eating 5 1000 calorie meals. With the addition of the one meal being easier on hormones, as leptin, ghrelin, and insulin are all better adapted to fasting and fed periods, rather than constant fed states.

Just want to say I always enjoy your posts tigersworld they are almost always spot on and you explain it simply.
Its very very very very hard to eat 5000cals all at once for me so this is a no go here and unrealistic lol.
Also I need constant protein so eating 5000cals all at once would not be the best way there. I wouldnt think digestion time would provide the same benefits or "impact" as constant protein muscle saturation, while eating fast digesting and slow digesting proteins all through out the day as a body builder or any one who does strength training for lean mass.

As a body builder, you have special needs. For the average human being, it doesn't matter. And even then, there are plenty of bodybuilders that utilize intermittent fasting, like Martin Berkham and Brad Pilon. Take a look over at leangains.com if you're interested.

T.Y. for the link but honestly I will take the constant eating protein saturation as this has a better impact for me therefore I need breakfast.
Tigersworld a lot of us are derailing OP thread badly here and I feel badly so I am not going to continue. Also sorry OP for derailing your thread and let me help you get back on point.

Does anyone have any shake or powder that they currently use that doesn't have a horrible aftertaste?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice

Muscletech has a good flavor and is cheap at sams club. This is what I drink mostly. But the best ever protein powder I that I have ever tasted that tastes exactly like what it says was
"gnc properformance". All the flavors are sooo good. Just expensive is all. I live on protein so I have tried most all of them and my favorites where these...

Chocolate caramel was soooo good and tasted just like it says.

Banana cream is super bomb too.

so I realize people have posted to this & I'm sure it's been said --- but OMG I can't even imagine a protein powder not tasting awesome!! I look forward to mine daily (I drink betweeen 4-5 a day between whey/whey isolates/casein -- vegetarian:)

OPTIMUM NUTRITION - LOVE them. Mint chocolate is my FAVE! They have a lot of diff flavors. mocha cappucino & banana are also tasty....the chocolate cake batter casein is literally like a milkshake!

Syntha-6 - little high on the carbs for my liking but the vanilla ice cream is really good!

Whey metabolic extreme chocolate is really tasty, the vanilla is also great for cooking!!

I like making smoothies with them as well* Or using the protein powder in oatmeal or in milk on cereal.

ps. you dont have to drink protein shakes -- you can get protein pudding packs that are close to 30g low cal/low carb --- or find some low cal/carb protein bars --- love ohyeah almond bars! great for an on the run snack (:

T.Y. for the link but honestly I will take the constant eating protein saturation as this has a better impact for me therefore I need breakfast.

Do you know Layne Norton is? He believes the constant saturation has negative impact on protein synthesis and, as a result, has extended time between his meals 4-5 hours a part with free-form amino acids in between meals.

And if you're not exercising in the morning then breaking your fast in the morning means **** all.

I am the same way with having a hard time eating breakfast....my solution...I make a large pot of coffee at the start of the week, put it in the fridge, every morning I put it over ice with a scoop of Dymatize whey isolate Vanilla...I get my 25g of protein, my coffee without creamer and it tastes great!

I make a shake with Aria Vanilla Protein Powder, 1 cup lowfat or nonfat vanilla yogurt, banana, whatever fresh and/frozen fruit I have on hand, and 2 tablespoons whole ground flaxseed meal. Greek yogurt usually has more protein, so you could use it.

I use Optimum Nutrition whey protein in vanilla ice cream flavour add a banana, some honey and cinnamon mixed with water (or milk if you want) in the blender and yummmmo! I used to hate protein shakes but now I love them

My wife uses Bodyfortress Whey Isolate. It is vanilla flavor and she adds it to her coffees and thinks it tastes great.

Bump for tmrw! Need a good protein shake as well.

I am in the uk and use USN diet fuel. I have the chocolate one and the strawberry one - I like both of them and have one for breakfast most days
