No its not. 125 grams of protein, 50 grams of total carbs 30 grams of fat.

My maintenance calories are 3000, that shake makes up 970. I deliberately use maple syrup and whole milk to drive UP the fats and carbs if Im using the shake as a meal replacement instead of a supplement because otherwise I dont hit my Macros.

Are you deliberately ignoring the sugar in the processed powders, the syrup and the milk?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Nope, thats counting them. I buy very specific products for very specific reasons.

Trust me mate, do you think a person who has gone to the trouble of calculating their Macros for cutting, maintenance and bulking who has peanut powder and egg whites on hand to dial in their intake to specific levels cant read a nutrition label? That shake has the equivalent carbs as 2 pieces of white bread.

Are you being deliberately abrasive?

No, I'm asking honestly, with a neutral tone. I'm not putting down your choice of nutrition, I'm concerned for your health and everyone else reading it. Sugar is a lot worse than most people realise.

If the 50g of carbohydrates are 50g of sugar, that would be a very unhealthy amount. You could just as well down 100g of Vodka as far as your liver is concerned.

It didn't strike me as neutral, but it did make me want to ask whether you're German (or otherwise from a different background.) I assumed it's a cultural difference. I asked only because it came across to me as a bit rude.

Well sure, but I'm not the person to whom you originally replied.

I'm not German
