Velveeta Cheese

Pretty high in sat. fat, and a little high on the sodium, but if you eat it here and there for the protein/calcium it should provide a good slow release casein protein. Just make sure it's not all you're eating. Upstate, are you still playing baseball.

BTW I'm not sure if I qualify as an expert lol.

Highly processed...there has to be other options...

Jsorb, definetly still playing. It's School summer ball but it's better than nothing.

Jon, I'll check at work tomorrow for better options.

just wondering where you work at? what does velveeta have to do with work?

I'm guessing that it's easy to carry/eat on the fly.

Correct. Also one of the easiest ways to get 1000 calories in my body very quickly.

UpstateNY2008,

I am not sure what your goal is, but I think it is to gain weight (muscle weight in particular). A good way to get a sufficient amount of calories and protien I would suggest drinking a Weight Gainer with a sandwich and a piece of fruit.

I would suggest the Serious Mass weight gainer from Optimum Nutrition. It is cheap, it works, and best of all...it tastes awesome!(I recommend the chocolate flavor).

This is only a suggestion... it has worked very well for me!

Hope this helps,

Hey Jon,

Do you think he catches, kills, or picks that stuff before he eats it?

I loved your previous guideline. It makes it easy for my son to focus on what he should be eating. Now if I could just follow the advice too.

I thought since it comes out of a cow, I'd be safe. Guess not.

Well, milk is the first ingredient in Velveeta but there is also a bunch of stuff that sure didn’t come from a cow. If you want the milk you would be better off just drinking a glass of it.

Didn't want to start a different thread, so here's another question I have. Is potato bread just another way of saying white bread? Example, I have potato rolls to make a sandwich today with my cold cuts.

For those who haven't caught on, I know next to nothing about nutrition because I've overananalyzed everything there is to know.

Most "potato" bread is yellow colored white bread. I know of one that has some fiber listed and it should be ok - it's the one with the buttery flavor.
What's wrong with 100% whole wheat bread? You can get used to the taste and I think that it has much more flavor than other breads.

I don't think Serious Mass is the best option. It's VERY high in maltodextrin, and you may end up crapping out whatever you drank. The Velveta is a better option IMO. If we are talking about "weight gain meals", a homemade shake once a day would be good.

Here's what I've used in the past:

16-20 oz of whole milk (most calories, I also use the lactose-free version)

2 scoops of chocolate WPI/Concentrate

A few T B S of organic honey

1 Large banana and assorted berries, I prefer blueberries

A few T B S of natural sugar free PB

Estimated pro/cho/fat:

65g Protein
25g Fat (mostly unsaturated)
100g Carbs (from the fruit)

It also contains good antioxidants and a ton of solid calories, because it's made from whole foods. I guarantee that will get the job done, all while tasting great and saving you money. You can remove the PB/berries and modify it to fit your needs if you like. In my experience, I've needed to get creative...I hate bland repetion.

Perhaps the symbol for tablespoons is also a competing website or an inapropriate abbreviation...lol. T B S= ***

Tim, it's just what I had at the moment, there was no wheat bread in sight and I needed to eat something. I personally like the taste of wheat bread better anyway.
