Supplements for women

krystal Posts: 27 Joined: 2001/07/02	2001/08/06, 04:22 AM Does anyone know of some good protien supplements for women? I need something that gives me energy. I am currently taking B complex,Q10, and grape seed extract...this does not seem to be enough for the energy, and i want to make sure that I replinish my muscles with what they need.

When you asked for more protein supplements, you might want to replace that with a high protein solid food. Im not sure what your layout of food/supps are. (mine is 8am food,10am supp,12pm food,2pm supp,4pm snack, 6pm food, and either food or supp around 9pm. The word food in this is defined as a medium to normal sized meal of chicken,steak,etc. and snack is usually like yogurt and nuts or somthing. and of course supp is a myoplex shake.) anny ways if your like me you need more protein in a solid form (food), i also dont feel great on just supps. I would just alter the layout of what your eating and mix it up. -snow

I really want to try the protien food and supplements but I think my main problem is where do I fit them into this program that I am already on. She has eating 1900 calories a day..8 carbs, 2 protien, 2 dairy, 10 fat, 4 fruit, and 4 vegetables. Thanks so much for the help!-krys
