I’ve been interested in trying bone broth. Is it high in calories as well?Maybe bone broth or cricket.
Protein powder, butter, MCT oil, coconut oil, cinnamon, blended with coffee.I’m smashing a bunch of meat (mainly grass fed ribeye and salmon) each week (2-3 servings of each). Pork is super sketchy here (goes bad in about 12 hours after you get home) from what I’ve been able to find but fish, imported beef, and most chicken is pretty safe.
My main question is; what are some alternatives to whole milk for easy calories and protein while on a bulk?
It's easy to add heavy-calories ingredients to itI’ve been interested in trying bone broth. Is it high in calories as well?
I’ll have to try that combo. I’ve done butter or coconut oil in coffee, and I’ve had coffee in protein shakes before as well.Protein powder, butter, MCT oil, coconut oil, cinnamon, blended with coffee.
Current product I have in calories: Whey powder, 120 cals. per serv. One table spoon of the others, butter 100, coco. oil 120, MCT oil 130.I’ll have to try that combo. I’ve done butter or coconut oil in coffee, and I’ve had coffee in protein shakes before as well.
“When people were given a 300 calorie drink containing glucose, or fructose, or orange juice, those receiving the glucose had a large increase in oxidative and inflammatory stress (reactive oxygen species, and NF-kappaB binding), and those changes were absent in those receiving the fructose or orange juice (Ghanim, et al., 2007)”It may just be the excess sugar in the whole milk when consumed in large quantities that is messing me up.
I’ll know how I react to whey protein next week. I ordered a pound bag of ON Good Standard (chocolate) to try in coffee, water, and yogurt. If it doesn’t cause any stomach issues I’ll grab a bigger tub when I use up this one.Whey protein powder is still somewhat like milk, but you might find you tolerate it better. I put 2 scoops in a blender with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and ice cubes.
There are also vegan protein powders - those formulations have come a long way - we get one here from 1stphorm.com that both my sons prefer to anything else they've tried. Neither is vegan/vegetarian, they just like those protein powders best, and they are regular drinkers of them. I just have a protein shake once in a while, maybe once a week or so.

Some people have a real knack for eating ?It’s looking like I’m going to have to go this way. It’s wild, at 3000cal/day I feel like I’m forced feeding all the time. I don’t understand how people can do 5000 and up cleanly.
