I first want to ask a question? What would the difference be if any, if you either a) sat down and ate 6 whole eggs, 1cup of oats, 1 banana, 1 scoop of whey, and 1 cup of skim milk, or b) just blend the exact same ingredients above into a yummy shake giving you 108g carbs, 77g protein, and 33g fat and just wolfed it down. If not why don't more people just blend their food and get it over with in about 1 minutes time. Is the bioavailubility of a raw egg any different then a cooked egg. If it's all the same why don't more people just drink their food. I was gonna try to drink four of these a day and have a little bulking experiment. I also like to not eat as often when I bulk because when I do it just speeds up my metabolism and makes it that much harder to put on quality weight. I don't really enjoy eating a lot, I would rather just get it over with. I admit I will probably along the way start to crave a good hot cooked meal and if I do I will just sub it for a shake, no biggie. I mean whole eggs are the most complete form a protein aren't they so they sound to me like a perfect canidate for the experiment. You can't beat oats for great carbs, and the fat from the eggs will only help in the bulking process. It will be a little over 4000 cals a day and I weigh depending on the day any where from 185 to 195 with a bout 8-10% bf, so I need them cals because of my high metabolism. I think the only x factor in this shake would be the high amount of cholesterol I will be consuming on a day to day. But if this makes a difference high cholesterol doesn't run in my family, I don't have high cholesterol now (27yr old) and I have heard cholesterol isn't too greatly influenced by one's diet as much as it is by other factors. Thanks and I would appreciate ant advice from any one on the subject of this bulking experiment.
question about bulkin on whole food shakes
- Thread starter thehbomb
- Start date
I think the only foods I would blend would be the eggs, oats, milk, and fruit, so I should of just narrowed it down to just this type of shake. I agree blending any thing else would be f------ gross, but do you see a problem with just drinking these shakes throughout the day as apposed to sitting down and forcing the last couple meals of the day down your throat. Wouldnt this be easier on your stomach, and would the nutrients be absorbed better? I'm not saying I will do this indefinitly just try it for a while and see what happens with the results. I wonder if any one else has tried this psuedo liquid diet before.

I've blended cooked chicken breast with OJ (not bad at all actually) and tuna with apple juice. Breakfast looks like this: 16OZ milk or OJ, 1 cup of Oats, 2-3 scoops of protein, 2-4 eggs and any fruit if I feel like it. It's a 1000 calories +.
Put it this way, if blending your food makes you more consitent in eating and getting your calories in then it would outweigh any negative aspects (which are negligible like Suar said) anyways. You have to find what works for you.
I'll blend anything if I can...I haven't tried steak, but that's because I love eating it so it's no problem.
BTW this is only good for bulking because I don't think anyone can take down a blended chickenbreast/tuna with water (cuz if your cutting your carb restricted)

if its only once a day i dont think it'll kill u..
but u guys have to remember something... when u blend ur food your taking something away from your metabolism.. your body has to work to break down food, by blending you take that away from your body and, thus, slow down your metabolism...
if its just for bfast, and pwo, u can get away with it.. i personally dont do it..

ok I tried something similar to this today PWO I had my usual Whey shake but mixed in 1 cup milk, 1/2 oats and 1/2 cup egg whites, so it came out to this
645cal/15f/47c/80p
that was before cardio then had my whole wheat thin bagel with turkey breast after cardio which was
270cal/9f/26c/22pro
So I may have over done it but would rather have to much then not enough, I know that the shake bloated me quit a bit, but when cardio was done I was fine, wasnt hungry when I finished but still forced down the turkey bagel, I basically had 102 grams of protien in an hr, which is probably WAY to much but I'm sure I didnt absorb all they whey from the shake which was 52 grams. Jsut thought I would post my experience
