Do you consume enough protein in your diet? I know that I don't get enough throughout the day. I use Premier Protein Drink as a supplement.
How Much Protein Should You Have Per Day?
The amount of protein depends on your activity and body weight.
Below is what I found from the Mayo Clinic Health System
If you're an average adult.
The recommended dietary allowance to prevent deficiency for an average
sedentary adult is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. For example,
a person who weighs 165 pounds, or 75 kilograms, should consume
60 grams of protein per day.
The Healthiest Protein Options Include:
- Egg Whites
- Fish and seafood
- Lean meats (skinless, white-meat chicken or turkey)
- Low-fat dairy
- Soy, nuts, seeds, beans, and lentils
After checking with my doctor and getting his okay to use a protein supplement, we found Premier Protein Drink at our local grocery store.
Premier Protein drinks come in a variety of flavors like Chocolate, Vanilla, Caramel, Cookies & Cream, and other limited edition flavors. Each bottle is compact, easy to carry, and requires no refrigeration until it is opened.
Here are the Nutritional Stats:
- 30g of protein per serving
- Only 160 calories
- Just 1g of sugar

If you want to use a protein supplement, the Mayo Clinic recommends:
- 2 grams or less of saturated fat
- 5 grams of sugar or less
- 200 or fewer calories
- No trans fat or partially hydrogenated oils
Always check with your doctor before using a protein supplement to ensure it's right for you.

This Premier Protein Drink sounds like the perfect solution for adding protein to your diet, Sam. Nice to know that a helpful supplement is also tasty. Why am I not surprised that chocolate is your favorite? LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting and informative review! I have heard of Ensure before, but this is the first time I've heard of Premier Protein. I did a quick comparison, and the calorie difference is shocking. Definitely worth considering for anyone who wants or needs a protein supplement.
ReplyDeleteIt’s surprising how many adults, especially older adults, are deficient in protein. And you’re right that many protein supplements taste chalky. We supplement our protein with powdered protein and collagen supplements and protein bars and we’ve had to “kiss a lot of frogs” to find ones whose taste and texture we enjoy and whose nutritional profiles meet our needs. Thanks for recommending this excellent liquid protein supplement, Sam!
ReplyDeleteThank you for an informative review of protein supplements. Sounds like you have found a good solution for you
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a good idea for days where I don’t have a chance for all my meals. Sounds quick and easy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this information Sam, I think right now I have my protein covered as I love snacking on nuts. If I ever feel the need for a supplement I will definitely buy this one.
ReplyDeleteI've tried some protein drinks before, but didn't stick with them. I started doing better by adding more beans to my diet, which also gives me extra fiber. Glad that it is working for you Sam.
