Protein!!!

duketter Posts: 76 Joined: 2002/05/01	2002/08/14, 08:51 AM Quick question. I am looking to cut body fat. I am currently taking protein with skim milk. Is this alright, or would I be better off taking it with water. Honestly, taking it with skim milk tastes 100% better to me, but I was curious as to what you all think. What would be the major difference? Thanks all!!!

Spend a little more next time on a better brand and you'll notice a big difference... -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

I'm trying to find natural sources of soy protein that I can eat everyday, so I don't have to rely on Soy Protein powders (gets expensive at $10 every two weeks)... I assume soy milk has soy protein in it??

BUT read the nutrition labels when you buy your soy milk and buy the one with only soy beans and water. No, sugar, salt or any other funny things!!! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Prices vary, but at 20 to 40 grams of protein per serving it should last you long enough to be cost effective.
