Thats really helpful. Ill have a look into other protein powders again i do have 2 heaped tablespoons hemp protein daily. Id love to take whey powder especially something with name 'weight gainer' but dairy and i dont get along (i read its derivered of milk? Unless its a non issue in whey form?).
I too have high metabolism which doesn't help....i guess just more more more. Am not really into eating junk but my frustration has got the better of me this week and i keep thinking eat crap equals fat but wrong type of fat.
Maybe upping it to 2 protein drinks a day?
No i wouldnt push it with the protein powder. Theres alot of people opposed to protein powders, reckon they put a strain on the kidneys.
Id be looking more at getting a good meal replacment one and taking as directed but having with a meal perhaps so double dose of nutrition. I thought protein powders equalled weight gain but turns out can be the opposite depending on how you consume them. Mixing with milk etc cocnut, almond, macadamia (awesome) is better. Adding in a little fat of some sort, strawberries etc etc oh BANANA! Tell you what id be suprised if you didnt gain by having a couple of smoothies a day, like with a banana, some yoghurt - coconut or lactose free. Wouldnt be going overboard with soy youghurt. But while you doing it work out the areas you dont wana gain, ie butt tummy etc with relevant exercises and I'd massage your breasts, hopefully get the nutrition up there.
They whey shouldnt by rights upset you with the lactose content if thats a concern, i know theres some really good (expensive) ones out there that micronize or something like that and make them super tolerable and effective. A friends whos hihgly underweight has been put on that one.
I looked real good when i started having baked potatoes, cheese, organic sour cream on a more regular basis and greek yoghurt!
Cut down on sugar even too much fruit potentially, stresses the body. I think for us is whats behind our fast metabolisms etc. Something stressfull or stressing in our bodies that makes us run fast or too fast.
