penotti Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I know that this could possibly be a question I know the answer to already, but i'm looking for a good simple source of lean protein right after my workout. The suggestions I've gotten so far, were either some type fish (tuna, sardines) from a can, or lean meats like chicken. But honestly I can't stand the thought of eating such a thing right after working out. Came across Jay Robb's Egg White protein and was wondering if this would ok (either mixed with water or plain almond milk) The ingredients and production method seem pretty good: http://www.jayrobb.com/protein/egg-white-protein-unflavored-12-oz.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 sorry, but this isn't ok during a whole 30 for 2 reasons: one, it contains soy (lecithin). two, it's not real food. If, after your whole30 you want to experiment with egg white protein powder, I would look for a brand without soy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penotti Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Wow, I totally missed that soy part! Sorry for that, I'm usually quite thorough with my research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 25, 2013 Parts of the Whole30 can be challenging. Eating real food after a workout sounds like a challenge for you, but there is no alternative. We think the benefits outweigh any awkwardness or discomfort. By the way, I looked at all the almond milks while I was in the grocery store today and not one of them was okay during a Whole30. They all had unacceptable ingredients, primarily carageenan. None of the milks in the dairy section of stores measure up during a Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
