Check out my shake! What you all think?

[Cakalac]

16oz. Milk
1 cup cottage cheese
2 tblsp peanut butter
2 scoops whey
3 tblsp olive oil
1 scoop carbo hit (carb powder)


It all works out to about 1300+ calories. I just made it so I have some adjusting to do and I'm sure some of you will make them! Taste damn good though. The peanut butter kinda takes over the taste but a nice blend! Tell me what you think. Figured it was good for hardgainers!

What's carb hit? Is it some type of simple carb, like Dextrose? If it is, I would leave that out and sub in some type of complex carb such as Oatmeal.

One more thing, I'm not a big fan of mixing lots of carbs and fats into each meal. Personally I like to consume one or the other, but its up to you. Protein+carbs, or protein+fat.

 

[DirkMoneyshot]

I definately agree Not a big fan of mixing Lots of fats and carbs and your shake is loaded with both fats and worse most likely simple carbs and just as bad milk sugar.

I personally would advise staying away from this mix

1 cup cottage cheese
2 tblsp peanut butter
2 scoops whey
3 tblsp olive oil
1 scoop carbo hit (carb powder)

If you are a hardgainer its nice to be able to get 1300 Cals from a shake, but you also have to look and see where the calories are coming from.

Why don't you try and make a Protein + Carb Shake as well as a Protein + Fat shake.

There are endless possibilities, you just have to experiment with different ingredients.

I would have to agree with Easto about the oatmeal. first thing in the
morning when i wake up for some reason i can not eat a whole meal
so i always make a shake like this... 10oz skim milk,2 scoops whey a
little peanutbutter, 1 bannana, 3 ice cubes and 1/2 cup oatmeal and
blend. and then, an hour later iam ready for a whole meal.
but if you like that shake and it helps you put on some weight then
go for it bro

What's carb hit? .

\


It is 100% complex carbs! It's made from high quality grains. I got this info off the bucket! I could substitute in oats I guess.

 

[Cakalac]

bad milk sugar.

I thought you guys say drink 1 gallon of milk/day. What is the difference in adding in 16oz. of milk to my shake?

I'm not disagreeing w/ any of you, just trying to make sure I'm understanding what you all are relating!

 

[thetopdog]

If you're a hardgainer, you don't really have to worry about milk sugar and mixing carbs with fats unless you're cutting

 

[Cakalac]

Definately not cutting. Trying to put on mass and a little BF would not hurt me! I would like to see 170 by the summer. Been 165 before. I am currently 148. I think I can do it!

 

[Bimmer]

keep eating, lol. How did you drop to 148 from 165?

I had done a few cycles out of high school and got to 165, new nothing about post cycle therapy (pct) and then quit working out for 2yrs. and was only eating 3 meals a day and getting probably 1700 calories. Just basically gave up on the whole body thing for 2 yrs. partied w/ buddies and had a good time but lost everything and blew a bunch of money! Thankfully I found a site like this one so I can educate myself and do things right! I feel like I have good shape genetics I just have to pack on the mass!

 

[DirkMoneyshot]

Me Personally i don't like including a lot of dairy in my clients programs. Some yes but not as much as your indicating... you have Cottage Cheese, Milk, Whey protein...Ect

Some might disagree but thats how i do things.

[Cakalac]

So Dirk, would you maybe leave out the milk and just use water instead or leave out the cottage cheese?

 

[DirkMoneyshot]

I'd cut down on the Fat first. Cut out the 3 tbsp. of Olive Oil. You should be just fine then.

Ideally you'd be better off trying to double up on your meals with clean foods.
