If you want to get the most nutrients plus be able to gain weight, it's pretty simple. Just increase your grains, nuts, and seeds. All are nutritionally superior to protein drinks and will have a greater absorption rate of protein (and all other nutrients)into your body. Also, even if you're lifting weights, you don't need to up your percentage of protein like so many believe to build muscle. I wrote about this a bit on my protein post a few months back. <BR/><BR/>I really need to figure out how to group my posts by subject instead of just by date. Do you know how to do that?Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04163112177764869671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538949027081981441.post-6988965224622216992008-12-31T00:33:00.000-08:002008-12-31T00:33:00.000-08:00Thanks for that post, Renee. Some very helpful ideas here. I'm trying to incorporate some kind of weight-gain nutritional diet that has lots of vegetation. Haven't gone to a nutritionist about it yet. What can help me gain while still being healthy and not too much saturated fat? Where do protein drinks fall into this, and which, if any, could be beneficial overall?Rusty Southwickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15219593571227897865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538949027081981441.post-24377187602735070982008-12-29T18:42:00.000-08:002008-12-29T18:42:00.000-08:00HI Renee, <BR/> I too went to BYU-- in the early 80's.<BR/> I have slowly started the eat to live diet.
