Meal Replacement and Protein shakes

[circusgirl]

Since it's become obvious I am eating waaaay too many carbs, and bingeing due to not preparing enough food (this is a stumblnig block with me as I have food issues and never seem to perpare enough), I'm considering buying somemeal replacement powder to make sure I can get in 3 quality protein meals a day and then maybe 2 or 3 shakes. This way I won't end up bingeing I hope because of being hungry at 3pm and not having enough food with me.

I also put protein powder in my oatmeal in the morning. Is this too much product and not enough real food?

I'm posting this in chat as I know way more folks post here than in diet discussion... I'm focussing on eating clean, and good protein intake, rather than specific cutting/bulking right now.

I don't know why you say it is obvious that you eat too many carbs, it's not as if I can see a picture, there are nothing but animals in your gallery, LOL!

I like MRPs too, but I don't use them during the work day because I don't have access to a blender. I do use protein powder though, plus I eat protein bars and snack on beef jerky (high protein, extremely low carbs/fat).

beef jerky (high protein, extremely low carbs/fat).

Don't forget extremely high sodium.

 

[Longhorn85]

Don't forget extremely high sodium.

Sure. I don't see that as a problem with plenty of H20. What do you think?

 

[Paulos]

I don't think it's that big of a deal if you're not eating gigantic amounts and don't eat other sodium heavy foods often, especially if you get sufficient water intake.

The only reason I don't eat it occasionally is because it's like four bites for 20 bucks.

I do also...

No, nutrients are nutrients unless constipation or the opposite
becomes a problem. I prefer to get most of my nutrition from
shakes, trying to focus on 2-3 good meals of food, rather than
worry about fixing food 6x/day.

the carbs in some MRP's are not so good if i remember....i wouldnt try to rely on them so much

i eat sandwiches a lot. easy to prepare,. stick a whole lot of meat in em, wholewheat or multigrain bread for low GI carbs, some veg for vit's and minerals. and u can eat them on the move which is essential for me


of course at the moment i;m eating the meat straight......that freaks people out.
