Hello all,

I've been lurking on the forum for about a month now and I'm finally getting back into health/fitness.

Yesterday, I went to Nutrition Depot and pick up some ProM3 protein powder by ISS.

It has (according to the label)

50g of Protein per serving

from a 62g scoop
230 cals.......cals from fat =18

total fat 2g
sat. fat 1g
cholesterol 20mg
sodium 270mg
total carbs 3g
fiber 0g
sugars 2g
Protein 50g

This seem like some good stuff or just average?

Thanks,

Q
 
i've used several different types of whey protein and they're all pretty much the same to me, your workout and general nutrition is WAY more important than what brand of protein you choose. my understanding also is that your body wont normally absorb more than about 30g's of protein at one time, so i think it's overkill to take 50g's.
 
bodybuilders need anywhere from 1-2.5 grams of protein to 1IBS of bodyweight so a 180IBS bodybuilder needs 180g - 450g of protein a day.
 
Wow....thanks for the responses guys. I'm not looking to body build...just trying to return to my former athletic self. I haven't lost that much...but I've added an unwanted layer of fat around my mid-section that I could really do with out. I've also added JETFUEL (aiding fatburning)to my daily supplementation. I eat 5 times a day and drink tons of water. I feel a lot better than I did two weeks ago before the changes. A lot of this had to do with google and finding this site. :)
 
if you want the narrow waist and fat loss watching your calories will be the most important thing you can. the protein shake is fine as a meal replacement as long as you keep the calories within reason. the jetfuel (IMO) will do nothing and i wouldnt bother. if you want to lose that layer of fat, cut those calores back, and keep up the cardio - it's that simple. :)
 
I'll do that. Thanks shimmering. I've already started watching my intake.

Breakfast meal at most is...@ 6am
Oatmeal (1cup) (Mon-wed-Fri)
4 peach slices (or mixed fruit)
1 glass of milk
-water through out the next couple of hours-

Snack
Protein shake @9am
-more water-

Lunch@ 12pm
Salad(very little dressing very dry salad :-(
Or turkey Sandwich using Earthgrains extra fiber bread and 1 slice of cheese w/ mustard.
1 cup of yogurt or cottage cheese.
-more water-

snack#2
2 table spoons of peanut butter ( I know)
-water-

Dinner
steamed or boiled veggies
boneless skinless chicken breast(sometimes pork loin/chop or beef steak) "nothing fried"
Crystal light or milk
-more water-

I've been doing this for a couple of weeks and the last time I weighed myself I was like 195...now I'm 185 :) During my football days..I was ~175-180. My body usually sits around that range and that's when I was most active.
 
that sounds like a fine diet plan - very sensible. if you can keep that up you will definitely lose weight. just keep focused, stay away from the junk food - fast food, sweet cereals, pizza, cookies, etc - and you'll be good to go. the results will be worth the sacrifice and will hopefully help you make the permanent changes you need to stay at the weight you want to. :)
