Mara Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I got on a scale yesterday. It was the first time I had been on one in a couple of months and it looks like I gained 5 pounds. It's working...... :) Cool! Can you see the difference? I'm still tinkering a bit with the diet. My system doesn't seem to much care for protein shakes immediately post-workout anymore; I've been getting the worst indigestion after. It just seems to sit there in my gut. So I might have to switch up to BCAA's and maybe some other form of protein after training and have my shake at another time of day. I've tried 3 different formulas, all good quality, and the effects are the same. Doesn't happen if I have a shake at breakfast or a couple hours prior to training. Only after.

I've tried 3 different formulas, all good quality, and the effects are the same. Doesn't happen if I have a shake at breakfast or a couple hours prior to training. Only after. What do your shakes consist of? 2 scoops whey protein powder (right now it's MusclePharm brand), 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, and sometimes a small handful of frozen fruit. Thing is, I actually like my protein shakes. I look forward to eating them and enjoy them. I don't get the indigestion problem until an hour or so after. It passes, but for a while it sort of feels like someone's kicked me in the kidneys and I feel slightly bloated. I'd wondered about some kind of sensitivity to the whey, but this only happens if I have a shake post-workout. I know I miss out on an opportunity for a really good protein source by not liking eggs. But my hatred of them really isn't exaggerated - I just can't stand eggs. So I have to get my protein from meat and shakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shake might digest more quickly and easily. (If you don't want to use water—I don't blame you. I hate the taste of protein powder in water.)

I've tried 3 different formulas, all good quality, and the effects are the same. Doesn't happen if I have a shake at breakfast or a couple hours prior to training. Only after.To be honest I have switched to just strawberry milk right after a workout. Thing is, that is the only good time to take in simple carbs. Your muscles need to restore their glycogen stores. Most protein shakes have little to no carbs. My diet around my workout looks like this: lean protein and a complex carb 2 hrs before a workout, plenty of water up too and throughout. Immediately after my workout I drink a 8 oz strawberry milk. That is 30 grams of sugar and 8 grams of protein which I have read is a perfect post workout mix. Then I eat dinner about 2 hrs later which consists of a green salad and lean protein. Your intolerance to the protein may be your body telling you it needs less protein and more carbs after your workout. Take your shake first thing in the morning and then if you need more protein to hit your macro targets, take a casein shake before bed. Leave the powder out of the post workout shake. Just something to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask because they are low on flavor and you can buy them in cartons now. I use them all the time. I make a 5 egg omelet with 2 regular eggs and then three servings of egg whites. Helps keep the fat intake down while giving me over 30 grams of protein. Anyway see my other post about your post workout shake. How many grams of protein are you eating a day?
