LOL @ this whole thread. This entire thread is ludicrous. "Protein can not be absorbed without the presense of fat." This statement is the most ignorant statement I have ever seen regarding protein consumption.

I don't understand....
Protein is digested in the stomach and small intestine into amino acids by pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin. Why is fat needed?
Glucose is a carbohydrate...baically a hydro-carbon. This conversion of protein to glucose would require the breakdown of, say, glycine, serine and alanine. What does this? Where does all the extra nitrogen go?

Gluconeogenesis inputs:
The source of pyruvate and oxaloacetate for gluconeogenesis during fasting or carbohydrate starvation is mainly amino acid catabolism. Some amino acids are catabolized to pyruvate, oxaloacetate, or precursors of these (see diagram p. 844, and web page on amino acid catabolism). Muscle proteins may break down to supply amino acids. These are transported to liver where they are deaminated and converted to gluconeogenesis inputs.
Is THIS what is happen to your egg proteins? How does fat prevent this?

Don be confusin Nelson with nona that book learnin, he's a knowin what makes ya big cause he writ one a dem books.
I don't understand what Nelson is talking about, maybe a citation to some research contradicting everything we understand about protein metabolism would clear things up.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the liver responsible for converting Protein into Glucose?
If so it is already in the bloodstream.
But go with the two tablespoons of fatty acids per shake idea, not a bad one that (Don't overdo it though!)
Better gains can be attributed to the Milk alone because it is a food in its own right (to me it is anyway)
Something like 300ml is 300 calories?
4 shakes a day and thats 1800 cals (allow 150 cals for the powder), so of course you will put weight on!
