| | Protein Intake and Losing Weight Hello... Im 15... Today I weighed myself, and I am currently weighing 149(with shoes and clothing... so maybe its less)... I have lost over 10 pounds in less than a month... But Im having problems trying to get my right amount of proteins while watching what I eat, and trying not to bring in many fats and calories... Any suggestions for my problem? I still would like to lose more weight and get in shape, but I also need to take enough proteins into my body for my muscles... any advice? Thanks in advance |

| | | well....i dont take them, but, protein shakes sure seems like an easy way to get a quick protein fix. chicken breasts, tuna, low fat cottage cheese, skim milk..all good sources of protein. really i dont like low fat and skim, i go with 4% milkfat cottage cheese for taste, and 2% milk. dam skim milk is like white water. |

| | | You gotta go with protein powders bro. Stay away from meal replacements that give you a lot of carbs though. The straight protein powders give you just the protein with a small bit of carbs (usually some sugar to keep the powder from tasting like crap). |

| | I agree, if you're lacking protein, the easiest fix is to add a protein shake 'snack' a couple times a day. You'll average 20-30g of protein with the typical shake, and usually 5g of carbs or fewer.
EAS is a reputable brand. you could also check out www.trueprotein.com - look at their Products and Pre-mix blends. they have a 'lean gainer' that's good protein, low carb, and less than $8 a pound. |

| | | But are they safe for me? Because I am 15... and some of these products arent tested on young people, and it is unknown what effects they might have on me... |

| | | protein powder is just food in powdered form.
Things you'd have to watch out for are pro-steroids, fat burners, creatine, ....stuff like that. |  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
