Babs commented on Tami's blog post 'Breakfast Protiens'"Tami, in addressing your question, I too have problems getting enough protein at breakfast. Really at any meal!

Babs commented on Tami's blog post 'Breakfast Protiens'"Thank you for all of the responses. I thought that the nutritionist felt that whey is high in mild sugar, but I don't really know anything more about that, I just assumed that it made sense. But people here seem to be a lot more informed.

Bram commented on Tami's blog post 'Breakfast Protiens'"Hi Tami - @Brian has some good info above. I am completely dairy-free, except for my protein shake. I have been lactose intolerant my whole life, but Whey protein ISOLATE is the best protein for me. I have experimented with them all, soy/egg/whey,…"
Judith commented on Tami's blog post 'Breakfast Protiens'"I'm with Gerri. I have a little soy from time to time, but not much---we get more than we need as filler in products we may not even realize use it. And I've never had any problem with whey powder....And I love almond milk a lot---I…"
Gerri commented on Tami's blog post 'Breakfast Protiens'"What's not ideal about whey? Whey has the highest protein content of any protein powder. Soy's not healthy & am surprised a nutritionist would recommend soy."
Babs commented on Tami's blog post 'Breakfast Protiens'"I use unsweetened almond milk too. A nutritionist told me that whey protein is not ideal, so I do half whey protein and half soy protein (soy takes some getting used to). I also do half almond milk and half yogurt."
Gerri commented on Tami's blog post 'Breakfast Protiens'"Unsweetened almond milk has very few carbs (2 carbs for 8 oz.), is low calorie, has a good amount of calcium & none of the growth hormones & antibiotics of cow's milk."
Tami commented on Tami's blog post 'Breakfast Protiens'"What are the benefits of using almond milk?"

Breakfast Protiens
Posted on March 25, 2013 at 4:45am 18 Comments 0 Likes
I am looking for some information on protiens for breakfast...I can't eat eggs and I need a low fat sub for things like cottage cheese, peanut butter, and greek yogurts. I am wondering about protien powders. I know that I have to do my own research on them, but I was wondering if they slow digestion down as a solid protien would? Anyone have any experiences with them?

Do I start in the morning? Do I eat something first? Do I take any insulin? Is it better to w\o before or after a meal? I'm so confused.

I never get to use the title Dr. so I am trying to use it in professional ways just now , or at least until I get it out of my system. I mean I only received it in December of 2012 so I am still thrilled to see it in print. LOL Like I say feel free to use it as you wish.
