I made an adjustment on my protein shakes. I had gotten some protein mix from Complete Nutrition called Annex. The only flavor I thought I could stand was Chocolate Malt. Turns out, it was NOT good. And I bought a HUGE tub of it. So I was gonna gulp that crap down until it was gone. But my friend Tricia reminded me of the peanut butter powder (PB2 - amazing!), so I started adding that in. It made it taste SO much better. So I realized that with the protein powder (22g), Mootopia milk (12g) and PB2 (5g), I was getting 36g of protein in each drink. And I remembered the nutritionist saying your body could only absorb 20g of protein at one time. So I was wasting 16g each time!! I decided to only do 1/2 scoop of powder, 1 tbsp of PB2 and 1 cup of Mootopia, bringing it to 25.5g each drink. It also cut back on calories a bit, so that helped. I also cut out the cream of mushroom soup, sadly, because it had way too many carbs. I'm going to miss it. Which is sad, right? I also realized how many carbs are in the NSA popsicles. But that's on my eating plan, so I assume it's ok right now. I was reading Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies last night and it said I should keep my carbs to 20-30 net grams per day. But surely they mean after I start eating real food. That's what I'm going with anyway.
