Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi, I am new to this list and am only on step 2 but thought I would get some support prior to starting step 3, as a vegetarian. I have been using Nutribiotic Rice Protein powder in my smoothies and it says to use one " heaping Tbsp " for 12 grams protein. I worry that I am not getting all my protein because my Tbsp isn't " heaping " enough. Does anyone else used this powder and know if two heaping Tbsp. correspond to some other convenient measure, like 1/4 cup or 3 Tbsp? Thanks, Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yes, I use that. I use two scoops though and just make a bigger shake. In general, for any protein powder, I find I need to add more than one scoop. Hope that helps, Amy --- erahn8 <erahn8 wrote: > Hi, > I am new to this list and am only on step 2 but > thought I would get > some support prior to starting step 3, as a > vegetarian.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 This is interesting. I've suspected that the rice protein powder is overestimating the amount of protein in a scoop. It doesn't hold the way other kinds do. I'm going to try upping it and see how that works. Thanks, JoEllen , Amy Brohl <burnsam1 wrote: > > Yes, I use that.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Two tablespoons equal 1/8 cup, if that helps.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi Emily, Welcome to the list. I don't know anything about that protein powder. I use George's Restore from the RR store. It is excellent!! And the label and included scoop make it very easy to use.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Emily, I use rice protein powder as well, and I use 2 heaping, heaping scoops. Since you're now on step 2, you can experiment! What does your journal say? Are you getting hungry or antsy before lunch? It took me a few weeks to nail down a shake held me and tasted good and was easy to make. It was actually pretty fun.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Jess, Thanks for the point about experimenting. My analytical brain wanted to know exactly how much two heaping Tbsp was equal too, but instead I will experiment with the amount of " heaping " and see what my journal indicates. I do get antsy before lunch right now so I will use that as my indicator. I never get hungry any time.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Amy, When you say scoops do you mean Tbsp? My container didn't come with a scoop. I have been using two Tbsp but as the powder is usually my only protein source at breakfast I was trying to make sure I was getting the 12g per Tbsp. I suppose I could experiment and add some peanut butter or other protein to my breakfast. Thanks. Emily , Amy Brohl <burnsam1 wrote: > > Yes, I use that.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 (first time posting here... here goes) [2 Em] Analytical? I am weighing my R.P.Powder by the gram! For that matter... I am weighing almost everything I eat. Thankfully only for a week or 2 so my Dr. gets an accurate report from me on my calorie intake (lost 75lbs in 1.5 years... no diet... no idea... 6ft/235lbs down to 160lbs wet). I find that Carob powder (Roasted or Raw) makes an R.P.Powder shake really pop, as long as you add vanilla (looking for non-alc. ... buying van. beans). I was using white Stevia extract, but I am starting to notice that I am not fooling my body... it wants 'carb-sweet-, not 'tongue-sweet'. I get cravings soon after having Stevia.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 No. Sorry, I forgot to mention I used the George's shake scoop. I switched to the other protein powder when I needed a change. Not sure if I am getting too much, but I know I get hungry with only one scoop. I am not sure how much is one scoop. More than a tablespoon, but I'm not sure how much. When I drank George's shake, I used to use one scoop of that with one scoop of George Jr. Amy --- erahn8 <erahn8 wrote: > Amy, > > When you say scoops do you mean Tbsp?

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Amy, Using the scoop from restore is a great idea! One serving of Nutribiotic rice powder is 15g and so is one serving of Restore. I just ordered some Restore to try out so once I get it I will use its scoop for my rice protein powder too.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hi RR - welcome! Did you become a vegetarian in the last year and a half? So glad you are here. I love the vanilla flavoring in the store, it's sugar and alcohol free.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hey Tina, Actually, I have been a vegetarian on & off for years, longest stretch was 12yrs I think (ended when homeless & offered meatballs {Pork vs. Starvation = Pork}). Have been on this vegie ride for maybe 4 years. Several things changed over the year & a half: -Minor oral surg./braces/infection removing root-canals/full-mouth tooth crowning & bridging/culminating with a truly ingenious oral prosthesis... Upshot?: I can chew for the first time, maybe ever. -Met girlfriend, who feeds me amazingly good/healthy veg. food (though protein is still the tricky bit). -Removed processed sugar from my diet after finding out that (even on several brain meds) it takes just traces of sugar to trigger rage/violent depression/worse. Makes me wonder why I'm on the meds, if you know what I mean... -Beginning of 1 1/2 years had 4 bouts of probable pneumonia in 1 winter. -Been working harder physically than I have in years, outdoors & strenuous. -And then there's the brain meds, including some Dexedrine. I am told by my prescriber that Dex. only suppresses appetite in the first 3 months max., which is why it isn't a good weight-loss aid. So it's complex. Hard to figure. Loosing insurance at end of May, so it's time to wrestle it to the ground before I don't have medical help. Yum! Flavorings! I didn't see these before. Thanks Tina!
