Weight Gain Shakes

Callsign_Vega Posts: 2 Joined: 2004/09/21	2004/09/21, 02:39 PM Hello all. I have a question. Is it normal to feel somewhat nauseous after drinking Whey Protein shakes? A little background; I am 25, Male, 6'3" tall and 160lbs. I have been lifting weights and drinking protein and colorie shakes to try and get my weight up to around atleast 180. I have tried many brands and many different protein and colorie shakes but they all have the same result: a nauseous feeling in my stomach. Sometimes even if I don't take the shakes and do a hard workout, towards the end I can get to feel nauseous. But the shakes will do it everytime. I am in the military and routinely get good bill of health physicals and hardly ever get sick. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I also eat cheese and yogurt regularly with no effects. The make of the current shake i'm taking is Prolab N-Large2. "Mass gainer, 52g whey protein ultimate muscle mass formula". Ingredients: Whey protein concentrate, maltodextrin, fructose, cocoa powder, natural and artificial flavors and lechithin.

Are you drinking it with skimmed milk because if you drink it with semi skimmed it could make you feel a bit sick..... that was just a guess :)

I think it's just the amount of protein. A small amount curbs my appetite, but a lot makes me feel sick :(
