Can pancakes be good for you? I have these pancakes that are 250 calories 49grams of carbs, 6 grams of protein, 4 grams of monounsaturated fat and 6 grams of fiber. They are buttermilk pancakes.
 
If you make your own and & vanilla protien powder they can be ok imo.. I like them sometimes before/after a workout for the high gi carbs
 
Pancakes kick ass IMO I will eat them later on after a hard work out to restore some glycogen. I use that wheat Hodgenson MIll mix its pretty good. Just watch out for that damn syrup. I just eat mine plain but most "syrup" is just high fructose corn syrup, which is the devil.
 
They do have sugar free syrup which you can use normally. I never tried it myself but no one complained about the taste.
 
If you're bulking and you're not too carb sensitive they can be dam good for you. Take in a shit load of protein, then throw those pancakes in on top. Keep the fat low and you have a great protein/carb meal.
 
I use 120g oatmeal and mix it with "All Whites" brand egg whites. I use 1 carton of "all whites" mix in blender w/ 12 pks. splenda
gives about 75g carbs and 50 protein.

There is little taste in my diet so anything remotely imitating junk food taste like heaven.

I'm eating very clean, not necess. restr. cals. etc. - Hi metab. and hard mass gainer
 
Here is a recipe for Isocalorie Pancakes:

5 egg whites
1 scoop vanilla or any flavored protein powder
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup uncooked oatmeal
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

Cook oatmeal to super thick consistency. Let cool. Add the egg whites, protein powder, vegetable oil, vanilla extract in a blender and
blend on low for 10 seconds. Slowly add in the oatmeal while blender is running. Turn blender off and pulse until everything is evenly mixed.

Makes 8-9 medium sized pancakes. Each serving has 67 calories, 6 grams of Protein, 2.5 grams of Fat, and 5 grams Carbs.

You can always add in more protein powder to increase the amount per cake. These are very tasty with an excellent nutritional profile.
 
I thought cooking whey prot. makes it less effective, unless it's made to cook w/ like optimum I believe has a brand....denatures the quality i thought

The more you cook ANYTHING the more you denature it.
 
The potential for amino acid chains that could be broken in the amount of time it takes for the batter to become a pancake is inconsequential. There is truly not enough time for the protein to coagualte to the point it renders the source ineffective. The amounts listed are accurate and have been tested to ensure a complete nutritional analysis. Not to mention that they are tasty and good for any diet.

Yep, cooking egg whites unravels the proteins into their amino base forums and eventually would become completely destroyed.

Thats just common sense folks.
 
I know cooking denatures protein, but w/ whey iso. specifically, I thought it was much more sensitive. i.e. wouldn't beef denature less quickly under heat?

Ohh! first time i heard about it :(
Then, i have to eat my whites raw?
How about salmonelia and botulism?
 
make your own mix, add some protien, sugar free for syrup and you have a nice bulking food. Maybe cutting if you make it right from scratch
