Shyam Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hey peoples...newbie here ! I searched through the forum, but didn't exactly find what I was looking for. So anyways..here goes. I weight train lightly, but mostly bulk up...lots of eating! But i tend to eat big meals, I was told smaller meals more often during the day helps keep my metabolism from going into overdrive. I have an ectomorph body...very active outside/inside...work on cars with my friends and walk a LOT....so i can't afford to lose too many calories during my day lol. I usually take ALIVE as a meal replacement and to get the vitamins and what nots that I need and Isopure Mass after i workout or do something that exercises my muscles, however, I have to stop taking the Isopure Mass every now and then because my body gets tired of it sometimes and i tend to not finish drinking the last 1/5th of the glass. So my question finally, what type of meal replacements do you take? I've looking for something that's fairly high in calories (most i've seen is like 300...), something I can add fruits and vegan yogurts to, tastes good in your opinion and isn't exactly expensive (if it is..still include it, i'll probably still get if it works!). Also, for what you take, how many servings does it supply? Or even so, do you make your own? Thanks in advanced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyam Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Oh, and just now, I decided to stop taking Isopure Mass. I haven't ever really enjoyed taking it to the fullest extent because of the ingredients...I don't like half the stuff that it has in it. And I forgot to add that I mostly want to know about meal replacement powders because I got a filling a few days ago, have to get two molars taken out, another filling and a root canal in the next few weeks or so (not all at once though). So my normal eating won't be much of an option. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyam Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Alright, did some more searching around...through this website, other vegan/vegetarian bodybuilding sources and through Bodytech (where i buy my stuff from) and I just ordered a bottle of Vanilla NitroFusion. I hope it's as good as it sounds lol. Just for the record, if anyone searches for this, or wonders about it...Nature's Best Isopure Mass seems to be a great product. It does it's job...i usually don't feel that much of an energy gain (energy drinks dont do squat for me anyway, i run off natural energy it seems lol) but it helps with my weight training. The one thing I don't like about it, is that it's whey protein isolate. I have other protein things (a bottle of hemp and a bottle of...w/e Alive is) but since this one is high calorie, i tend to take it more often. It's lactose free though...but not good enough! Within the ingredients, some things i remember that it has after drinking it and getting that glob of mucusy stuff i refuse to swallow: Maltodextrin, Ion Exchange Whey (milk) Protein Isolate, Microfiltered Whey (milk) Protein Isolate, less than 2% corn syrup solids, sodium caseinate (don't know exactly what that is, but caseinate turns my thoughts to milk), natural and artificial flavor, sucralose (i haven't ever liked sucralose). So yeah. Great product for those who aren't vegan i guess lol. I used to drink Perfect 3300 but boy did that turn my stomach upside down (almost got sick once after drinking it, but just massive stomach aches every once in a while from drinking it). Isopure Mass is gentle on my stomach...but my body hates it after a while. So on to something new. And just as wel, I want to cut down on my soy intake so i'm glad NF doesn't contain any soy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjs Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I used to take Naturade Total Soy Bavarian Chocolate as a MRP when I was dropping weight a few years ago. Pretty good tasting and it seemed to work well. It became unavailable and I think the company declared bankruptcy. Looks like it's available again... not sure if the company recovered or it someone else bought their assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odidnetne Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I love good old hemp protein (but not specifically hemp protein that's old), vega smoothie infusion or just plain vega. Oh, and Sunwarrior (any flavor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawaiiDolphin Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I swear by Vega, but just plain hemp protein when I want something lighter or a snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
