What have you eaten today? (1 Viewer)

[Blue Suede]

i was diagnosed by a psychiatrist, not a psychologist and this was done on a 15 min consult where he basically asked me a whole lot of incredibly leading questions

that's not following protocol or standards at all. I did actually make a complaint about it later but now the protein drinks are just delicious and they keep coming so I keep drinking them or freezing them to take to work on hot days

What is a "medical protein drink"? What kind of macronutrient content are we talking here

 

[Blue Suede]

it has quite seriously EVERYTHING. every single vitamin and mineral you need. You can actually have 4/day as a nutritionally complete diet.

actually it's completely fat free so apart from getting some fat into your diet, things are pretty good. but i'd get way too bored if I drank four a day, every day.

edit: it's fancy and prescribed not like protein drinks you just pick up from a health food store or the super market. They had to get a dietician and my managing doctor to sign off on them.

So it's a super healthy, clean and tasty way to get a lot of macro and micronutrients but you need a prescription?

This country srsly. Are there any potential side effects?

 

[Alexis Texas]

why would there be side effects if it's just a protein/vitamin/mineral drink?

are there side effects to eating?


what's it called? is it 2cal? i don't really know why they would give you a fat free drink with every other macro/micro when they want you to gain weight (?) but whatever i'm sure they know what they're doing.

does it have a lot of sugar?

man fuck these things. look at the nutrition. I know a girl who was in hospital and had to drink 4 a day as SNACKS plus meals. 475 calories in 237mL wot

 

[Blue Suede]

waitwait the prescription thing (authority script?) means I can get them for like $1.50 when they retail for something ridiculous like ~$7 each.

This is them http://www.shopping.com/Nestle-Clin...ry-27-Pack-8oz-Nestle-Clinical-Nutrition/info That doesn't have all the info but it's the only reference I can find to it on the web. Peach version is gross the wildberry one is nice and orange is pretty decent.

idk how the fat thing works because I've put on ~5 kilos in the last 8 months with drinking one of those per day being the only change in my diet.

They're 250 calories in 237mls

uh putting on a heap of weight (though kinda the purpose)

lolsmith is a clever cat i thought that would be stating the obvious

It may contain sufficent nutrients, but its almost certainly not nutritionally optimal.

Your vitamins need to be chelated, or connected to a protein that it is naturally digested with. In fruit and vegetables, all the vitamins are connected to some other protein, and the vitamin is digested along with it. There are some vitamins that are synthetically chelated, and these tend to be many times more absorbable than regular vitamins. But nothing beats just eating the right foods.

thanks captain. if you read above, you'll know I'm not drinking these voluntarily and if you look at my last post that details what foods I ate, you'll be aware that I had a good balance of the different food groups in their appropriate proportions.

Interesting, they aren't milk based like protein shakes or something like Sustagen?

 

[SylviaB]

thanks captain.

happy to help bb

nope. it's a clear liquid

 

[brent012]

nope. it's a clear liquid

Sounds like it'd be pretty good for vegans or people with heaps of allergies.

 

[Alexis Texas]

i'm a boring food person
