Hi ladies!
I started on plan Saturday and am getting used to trying the packets and trying to get in the groove for meals (I'm a creature of habit)
My clinic thankfully sells all packets individually so you can have 21 different each week if you like. You take your own and bring your cart up front... Basically no one is counting the 21, so to save money in the future I was thinking of getting a few less and one way to replace easily is in the RTD shake dept.
I got 2 vanilla IP tetra shakes this week, tasty in coffee and something I could do daily. Not too practical for Nashia Nutrition since they'd be so heavy.
Does anyone know anyplace /any brand of RTD vanilla shakes with similar macros? I do have the Atkins ones locally, but don't know if they have similar macros. Our Costco only sells Premier Nutrition shakes and only in chocolate, so that won't work. Back in the day I used to buy GNC brand RTD shakes, about $2 each but still half the price of IP. I'd rather get RTD since the mix has a tendency to clump.
Also, I have a couple cans of Big Train iced coffee mix from last year- it is SO good! Does anyone use Big Train products who are incorporating alternates, wondering what macros I should be looking for. My IP shakes don't have nutrition facts. The packets look low fat, about 15g protein, and carbs under 10? Coach didn't say much meal wise, just that a days carbs would likely be 30-40, but not to count, they just fall into place.
There are things at NN that id love to try (not even withstanding the cost difference) but I don't know if I'm playing with fire using some alternates. Are people more likely to quit? Should be fine as long as I keep up the coaching, right?
Sorry for so many questions! Trying to get accustomed to this completely foreign plan to me
Best RTD shakes?
