I love the " Cappuccino Delight" Slim Fast. I have one for breakfast and lunch. Is this helping or hindering my progress? I am only at day three, so thought I'd better check before going on to far...Each shake is 10 g protein, 41 g carb, 1 g fat...
This is much better than many food choices that you can make. Also, it's a good choice for earlier in the day, like you are doing because it's essentially energy food in a 4 to 1 carb to protein ratio. The big downside of these drinks is the amount of sugar. Plus, it's granulated sugar and not even fructose. But this is less a factor when you're active.
At night, up the protein and fat and lower your percentage of carbs and keep them complex. If you eat an almost no-fat diet (as in these shakes) make sure that you get your omega 3's and 6's. You can buy these as supplements if necessary.
