When taking a Protein shake between meals, how many Carbs should you take to stop Protein burning up. Is Fructose a good carb to add?

If you want carbs in it, try adding some oats. I took some of the experienced guys opinions on this and blended it in with a protein shake...and BINGO! Lovely....:beer1:

Protein and Oats is a great way to get a meal down. Blend the oats or if you are lazy buy super fine oats from bulkpowders. Add some flaxseed oil and you've got yourself a meal.

Drinking them with water isn't as good as drinking them with milk though.

If you want (mostly) protein meal - add just a little flaxseed oil.

Less shakes and more whole foods, this is better.

Great ideas. Do oats not have to be cooked first to break them down so they can be digested properly?

Nope. I put the protein powder in my shaker along with the oats, add some water to cover and blend it (obviously using a blender).

I have unflavoured whey and mixed with oats tastes lovely. No need to add flavourings.
