hey guys. lately i havent had enough money to buy a protein shake but
Ive been drinking powdered milk (skimmed) instead. It has:
Fat 0.25gr
PRotein 7.6gr
Carbs 13.3gr
Serving is 25gr
And I ussually have four servings of this ( about 50gr carb and 30gr
prot)
Well my questions is: Is this good for me? Is this recommendable?
What are the goods and bads of this? As far as I can see its only good,

it has proteins, carbs and almost no fat but I heard somene say taht
cabrs in milk are baaaad.
thanks a lot in advance guys!

How about "food"?

Meat, eggs, etc.

As for protein gram value tho', you may find that gram for gram, shakes
can be a a bargain. Check out the gram per penny price of protein
powders.

But, eggs are a VERY cheap and quality source, especially if you buy the
36 count cartons. I believe that the protein content of eggs FAR
outweighs what is in even skim milk.

But you fail to mention that 61% of the caloric value of whole raw egg
is from fat, and 37.5% of that is saturated fats.

Not if you toss the yolks...... ;-)

Then you should have specified egg whites.

Sorry... One would hope that anyone with any knowledge of nutrition
would assume that. ;-)


As to egg whites, your claim is reasonable. However, egg whites alone
do not taste nearly as good as whole eggs. Therein lies the dilemma.

Indeed. I handle it by simply adding one yolk back per 6 eggs when
making omelets, scrambled eggs or frittatas.

Chicken hindquarters are frequently on sale as well for $.79 or less
during the standard "grilling" holidays. I've still paid as low as $.49
once last year. Skin them and de-fat the thigh meat and you have yet
another inexpensive and delicious protein source.

I can get catfish nuggets for $1.29. Contact grilling (I use a Hamilton
rather than a Foreman grill) removes most of the oil from those. I find
it in the catch bin.

I splurged this labor day tho' and bought New York Strip steak. It was
on sale for $4.99. ;-d
