Banana
1/2 scoop Greens+
1 Scoop Nature's Best Isopure Low Carb Dutch Chocolate

Umm, im not asking a question to know what's right or not, and yes I did read the faq. I am asking out of sheer curiosity? Like a poll basically.

What is coconut water? I've never heard of that. Are you referring to the milk inside of the coconut?

The low carbs, Im doing comps quite often so trying to stay at my weight. Why you heard it wasn't good or something?

Answer#2 Blend of coconut water,milk and juice. Atleast that's what the label says

coconut water sounds interesting...

Anyway, I take 2 to 4 a day. One PWO assuming it's not a rest day, and 2 or 3 throughout my 12-hour work shift. I generally try to eat whole food when I get to work, a shake a few hours later, another real meal around mid-shift, a shake 3 hours later and another shake for the hour drive home.

Also, I'd cut out the apple juice. Read THIS for a good reason.

You sound a little angry and resentful. Do you need a hug?

I try to get to about 4 a day if possible although where possible i substitute my bedtime shake for cottage cheese so i have 3 protein shakes and a serving of cottage cheese

Including my PWO shake I try to squeeze in 2-3 a day. Usually one mid-morning, one PWO, and sometimes one at bedtime.

For 2 of them I do...
40-45 grams of whey protein
10 ml of fish oil
1 tablespoon of flax meal
3.5 grams of a fiber supplement
250 ml of V8 or similar product...

The other(s) will be...
40-45 grams of whey
4 tablespoon of flax meal

and/or this...
40-45 whey...
10 ml fish oil
1 tablespoon of flax meal
7 grams of fiber supplement


In case your wondering...
My 2-3 meals are a lot more flexible, but I try to have <400 calories with a 33/33/33 fat/carb/protein ratio...

On workout days I have three or four shakes, usually one shake is 2 scoops of syntha-6.
