Raynebubble · 12th February, 2012

If focusing on milky drinks would you go mid way with the semi skimmed?! whole milk whilst more protein is also higher fat..and then opposite end for skimmed milk..

nuts ..brazil, cashews, walnuts, peanuts mixed together (not salted ) i buy a bag of each mix them in a bowl then measure them out 50g is approx 14 grms

Interestingly skimmed milk has as much protein as semi and a little more than whole milk. They take away the fsat which leaves a higher concentration of nutrients. For example skimmed has more calcium than the others. You do have to be careful with calories in milky drinks too.

As I am lurking though I would add!

I try hard to use "natural" sourced protein Chicken, Tuna, fish and more fish etc I can hit 60 - 80 per day and our team recommends 60 as the minimum target AND I love the fact that the need for protein is such a good excuse for a hot milky coffee from time to time!! If all else fails and I feel I have not cracked it a spoon of high protein skimmed milk to that milky coffee does it for me! As an ex nut lover the thought of loosing control over dipping into them scares me I cant get my head round that discipline yet!

Me too Phil. I had to banish peanut butter from the house when I was on soft foods as I had the urge to eat it straight off a spoon. I can eat a much larger amount of food if it's crispy so nuts and seeds would be extremely easy for me to pig out on. I spent 20 minutes in Holland and Barrett the other day trying to find the lowest cal nut/seed mix but came away empty handed as it's just too tempting.

stuckinafatsuit · 12th February, 2012

Ive stopped going down the nuts isle in the supermarket, they go down far too easily best for me to just not eat them...

JO28172 · 15th February, 2012

Well after seeing a weight increase since trying upping my protein since sunday, I've spoken to my nutrionist who confirms that yes you do have to balance the extra cals with the protein.which is the bit I had issues with! As a bander it is less important to have a high protein intake compared to say bypassers who it's a must for and said if I'm getting mid 40s in then I'm fine. Also since I'm losing every week and what I am still losing is fat and not muscle mass then again there's no need to change what I'm doing! Phew! So back to as was and shift this 1lb I've gained! Milky coffees n marvel..c ya!!!
