Question 1

can a diet high in soy protein smoothies help one lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Count the calories!: Count the calories! count the calories! count the calories! that is how important calories are. Most people who drink smoothies will gain weight because smoothies are yummy, easy to slurp down, and have calories. The only way to lose weight is to taken in fewer calories than one uses, each day. If certain types of smoothies make a person not eat or drink other calories, it might work.

Question 2

trying to lose weight, drink smoothies twice a day. should i be using protein powder in both of them? i have more fat then muscle, i am exercising. ty

Accepted Answer

Using protein powder: will only add calories. Protein daily requirement is 50gms. You only need to supplement if you are doing heavy workouts. It alone will not cause weight loss. A good balanced diet and an exercise program will give results. You must be aware that if you lose fat &amp; replace it with muscle, you may see no great wt. loss but you will be more defined &amp; healthy. Be sure calories in are more than cal in,

Question 3

what's the best protein shake mix for a woman trying to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Least calorie: The best shake is one which has natural ingredients, low calories. You can make great shake out of greek yogurt.

Question 4

can i mix vegetables and fruits for smoothies?

Accepted Answer

Mix Away!: Smoothies are a great way to get the daily recommended number of fruit and vegetable servings! fresh baby spinach is a mild-flavored vegetable and goes well with all fruit.  I recommend a smoothie starting with baby spinach and a ripe banana. From there, add another fruit, ice and water. Frozen berries, pineapple chunks, peach or mango are all very good.

Question 5

whats the best protein for  women?

Accepted Answer

Same as for men.: Milk ( whey) and egg (albumin) proteins are the best, followed by meat, fish, poultry, legumes, and nuts.

Question 6

what is the best source of best protein?

Accepted Answer

Protein-Rich Food: Including fish, lean meat (such as poultry, eggs, beans, peas, soy products), and unsalted nuts and seeds.

Question 7

what is the best source of protein? apex

Accepted Answer

Meat: All animal muscle is complete protein for humans. While containing some fats the amount depends on the type of meat and cut of meat. Eggs are complete protein but smaller quantities. Keep in mind that protein is difficult to digest and overeating protein may be eventually detrimental in terms of gastrointestinal disease, live and kidneys.

Question 8

which way to get protein tastes the best?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you eat dairy products you can try greek yogurt or cottage cheese (otherwise soy/almond/coconut yogurt). Non dairy sources include chia seeds, beans, lentils, quinoa, eggs, artichokes, broccoli, avocado, asparagus, tofu, peas, spinach, beet greens, peanuts, pistachios, sesame seeds, garbanzo beans.

Question 9

what are the 5 best food sources of protein?

Accepted Answer

MANY: What you prefer depends on the type of diet you're eating.  Some people are vegan, for instance, and avoid all animal products.  Meats like fish, chicken, grass-fed beef, dairy products, & eggs are prime sources.  If vegan you'll want beans, lentils, non-dairy milks (coconut, almond, etc), nut butters, and tofu.  All can get protein from leafy veggies like spinach, and grains like quinoa.

Question 10

help please? what is the best protein for me?

Accepted Answer

For most...: Whey protein derived from milk. Egg white protein is almost as good! if your digestive tract is normal, there is no advantage with hydrolyzed protein containing free amino acids!
