I don't have any whey protein anymore but my mother has to containers of Slim Fast, I read the nutritional facts and it has loads of vitamins and 10gs of proteins. Is this a good substitute for a protein shake?

Pretty far from ideal for a protein shake.

1 serving (295 ml's) has only 10g's of protein and 190 calories.

I like to get around 30g's for a shake and that would be 570 calories for me.


Besides, your brother may get upset your drinking his slim fasts.

    Just drink 2 cups of skim milk- 180 calories and 18-20g of protein. Also far cheaper than slim fast. Even more effective, is wash down some steak and eggs with the milk.  Grin

    Most questions you have about building muscle is answered in this article.

    Getting big, strong muscles and losing fat is simple but it's not easy! To accomplish anything worthwhile in life, you need a firmly fixed goal; willpower; a high tolerance for pain.

    Everything about this statement is good.  Steak + eggs + milk is a mans breakfast that will give you all you need in terms of protein.
