slack breakfast

[brian11]

ive been just making a shake with olive oil lately for my breakfast. of course this is not ideal, but my question doesnt pertain to that. i want to know how long you guys think that protein will take to be digested. basically just so i know when to schedule my next meal. i dont have a lot of breathing room because of school and work though.

If you are taking in a whey protein shake, it will go through you in less than a hour. Try a caseinate protein.

an hour? even with the fat in it?

[SwoleCat]

You're good for about 2 hours bro as the fats do slow the absorption. Then you'll want to eat after that 2 hour mark as it'll take a while for that next meal to get into your system.

You know how oil seperates from water? This is what happens when you down that pro/flax shake since their both in liquid form.

dont really know about that, i think that it still slows digestion. sometimes i use almonds mixed with natty PB. I just got lazy and quit making eggs. but im usually only on campus for an hour and a half before coming back and eating. What i really need to do is just throw in a little chicken with it to get some fast and some slow.

How about utilizing the Starkist Tuna that comes in the bag? Rip open that jazz, squirt some flax, and eat it like you're finishing up the last crumbs of a bag of chips.

changing the question, where can i get liquid flax? all i have been able to find are the pills.

I don't know if allsportsnutrition carries them, but I know dpsnutr***** does.


EDIT- Did you try your local GNC? Vitamin Shoppe?

i tried drug stores, but not GNC. I try to avoid that store as they are way overpriced

Do you have a Vitamin Shoppe near you? They carry it and they also have Udo's Oil which is a blend of omega 3, 6, and 9 fat. When you go there just go straight to the fridge, its in there.

too bad tuna leaves you with that smell

Stomach acids negate this, as well as the rest of the digestion process.

I found some Flax at a local Go Nutrition for around $12

I got the tuna smell right now. lol

my usual breakfast is 3/4 cup of oatmeal and 2 scoops whey protein. how long do you think that stays in my system? lots of people tell me it's a waste of whey protein cause it'll be gone quick from my body. tastes good though.

Some say it's good to have that fast acting protein in the morning because your body might already be starting to go into a catabolic state from sleeping. It's not a waste, but you might also want some slow acting proteins as well in the am.

I currently do this myself!

I eat the oats though, and drink the protein made w/ice water.

doesn't lactose slow the digestion process?

would it not be beneficial then to have fat free milk in your am shake???
(while bulking of course)

it adds about 8 grams protein, i think 10 sugar......
puts me at about 60 carb 60 protein, 3 fat for my breakfast

good?

Any wal-mart supercenter will sell liquid flax. At least that's the case around here. Check it out where all their vitamins are.

[PrairieDawg]

yea I get my liqu flax from the supermarket. Dont waste your money on the pills.
