Is a protein shake considered a meal, as in should I wait 15 min before drinking and 30 minutes after? It is a liquid so I'm a little confused on that one. I can't find the answer anywhere-please help!
It's considered a liquid meal replacement. I'm drinking them once or twice a day and I don't wait before I drink water because I see them as a liquid.
I have a quick question, would special k, are slim fast, be considerd some thing I can drink on pre op and post op
I was given this rule to follow when picking a protein shake/drink. No more than 5 grams fat, 10 grams carbs, and at least 15 grams of protein per serving. That is how I have always done it and I have been very successful so far. Good luck!
I agree with BladeFox. I think the 30-30-30 rule is when your are eating solid foods again. Good luck.
I was not instructed to wait and have not had an issue at all. I made sure to spread my calories through the day though, so I didn't finish a protein drink and then 30 minutes later have a meal.
Thanks for all the comments! I am talking with my dietitian tomorrow. Will keep you posted with her information.
Can anyone tell me what shakes have only 10 grams of carbs 5 of fat and 20 protein I can't find any?
