High Protein 3 month Challengers Check-in!!!!

[adw425]

This morning I had a protein shake with soy milk and plain yogurt which totaled 34 grams of protein. I did take my digestive enzymes. Here are my starting pictures, keeping in mind that I just flat-ironed to take the picture. If I was going to wear my hair down, I would have done a much better job of it; it wouldn't be looking so raggedy.

ETA: My Smart Ones lunch has 20 grams of protein...I would have guessed 10, but I just checked the box, plus I am going to eat a piece of baked chicken my colleague brought in, but I don't know how many grams that is.

This is my first post. I am consuming roughly 110 g of protein daily in the form of shakes, poultry & fish. Im drinking at least 100 oz of water a day. Its really easy because like Whip I have given up sodas so I just use Walmart Brand Add-ins ( orange sunrise is the best !!!)

My order of Twin Lab Amino Fuel should be arriving this week so I will see how many grams of protein are in that.

 

[jaded_faerie]

[xxxxcherishxxxx]

***I had a 12oz can of tuna with romaine salad-->65gs!!!!!(13gs based on 5 servings in the can.) I pretty much eat tuna a lot unitl it gets old.

***3 eggs(each 6.5 gs each/Eggland organic)----->19.5gs

***2 protein shakes----->44gs

***1 chicken breast----> don't know

Total not counting chicken breast: 128.5gs (that darn tuna!)

I've also being drinking close to 64ozs of water a day in addition to the water I consume during workouts. I need to get some digestive enzymes to make sure my body is absorbing the protein. Also, my scalp is sore. I had to get my SO to massage it the last night.

 

[gn1g]

I am taking one scoop of whey protein per day. My scalp is sore also, I didn't know that was a side effect of protein. Also what effects does it have on the menstrual cycle?

Do the protein shakes make you feel full? My protein bars made me feel like I just ate a huge meal.

Yessss!

So far today I've been slacking. I have only consumed the following:

***protein shake-44gs
***chicken breast--don't know, maybe 12 gs????

I still have the whole day ahead of me. Just gotta remember to keep up with the water intake. My scalp is still sore/tender/or whatever you want to call it. I had the itchies a couple of days ago. I can't wait until the end of the month so see some progress!

I really don't know the question to that concerning menstral cycles. As to the soreness of our scalp, I've read several threads where people attribute it to growth spurts...meaning tis growing. I don't know for sure but my scalp has become sore since I've started this high protein challenge. I sure hope its something good!

 

[WhipEffectz1]

Ladies...How many grams are in one Boiled Egg?

I went to a calorie counter site and it doesnt tell me the protein count.
Anyone know of a site that will give that kind of info that you dont mind sharing?

Hey! There's about 6-6.5 grams of protein in each egg as I understand. I got my information from the eggs I use at www.eggland.com

Today I've consumed:

12 oz can of tuna and salad- 65gs
2 Protein shakes- 44 gs

I haven't been eating that much. The protein shakes are doing it for me. My scalp is still sore.

Have you lost weight?

I've lost 7lbs since starting this challenge!

Good for you! I haven't lost weight lately, but I've lost weight since I started eating more protein over the last couple of months. I think it's due to the fact that the protein helps curb your appetite and cravings.
