The muscle milk is normally something like $46 for a big container of it..but it was on sale for $26, I believe.

I'm not sure about the calories...but the thing is...if I have a protein shake for breakfast I tend to eat less throughout the day, so even if it's high in calories, it really doesn't make much difference.

I want to say that 2 scoops is something like 325 calories, but I used a scoop and a half, plus a scoop of peanut butter.

just a reminder - protein supplements are a medical necessity for us, so chances are we can toss this into the 'medical deductions' part of our income tax.

Seriously? do you need receipts?

[FluffyGirl79]

ooh.....good idea!!

I think whether or not you need your receipts would depend on who your accountant is LOL ....mine probably wouldn't ask for them, unless I was audited or something.

Check out The Ultimate Meal...powder mix. I buy it at Whole Foods. 170 Calories. 16 grams protein. It has Potassium, calcium, Vit. B-12, Iron, Omega 3 & 6.

I mix with H2O and ad 1/2 banana and 1/2 cup mixed berries.

this works for you? hmmmm. lots of calories, even at about 1-1/2 scoops [to get about 20 grams of protein], that comes to about 300 calories, and about 125 grams of fat.
