Anyone actually using Primal Fuel? Any alternatives? page 2

You can get straight up whey powder and flavor it yourself. Since it's generally purchased in bulk (I can't remember the site, sorry!), it would be fairly cheap. My favorite protein powder is Jay Robb's chocolate whey. I second either investing in a dehydrator and making your own trail mix packs, or attempting jerky in the oven.

Ya. Jay Robb makes some good stuff. He has a pure egg protein powder that I like too. It feels to me like I get more of an insulin reaction with whey than I do with egg. With whey, I get hungrier than when I started soon after drinking one but that doesn't happen with the egg. Don't know if that is just me.

get ON gold standard 100% natural whey (the yellow tubs). It tastes great, and actually has much better ingredients than Primal Fuel

Can one use coconut oil instead of coconut butter in the fat bread? I have seen creamed coconut and coconut oil, but never the coconut butter? Or can the regular butter do?

Whole foods carries it under the brand name artisana, nutivia calls it coconut mana
I've seen both in Calgary when visiting

Blasphemy!

Cool, thank you. I usually just shop Superstore & SS Organic Market so far. Gotta find the Whole Foods.

Wouldn't you need a blender to make the primal fuel into a tasty drink?

I keep cans of salmon in my office, plus a can opener and a metal spoon. I open the can in the bathroom. I throw the can away in the bathroom, too. They only empty my office trash once a week but they clean the bathroom every day. I snag mustard packets from a little store on campus to add a little flavoring to the salmon, too. I know you can do sardines and not need a can opener, but I think salmon tastes better than sardines.

Right now, in addition to cans of salmon, I have a large jar of dried olives (wow, those are good!), coconut manna, macadamia nuts and some coconut cream powder for my coffee. But today's lunch was a salad I brought in a thermos: avocado, tomato and tongue.

I keep Primal Fuel at work with one of those shaker containers with the metal ball so it mixes well. Have had very mixed experiences with protein shakes being tasty and filling enough, and PF works for me on both counts (at least the vanilla-not so big on the chocolate.)

Coconut butter (some brands call it "manna") is the whole coconut ground up, meat and all, not just the oil. The bread needs this substance for the eggs to bind to to make the dough...well doughy.

Thanks for the egg powder recommendation! I want to add more protein to my post-workout smoothies, so I bought some vanilla whey, and I guess I'm just not used to sweetener anymore, because I find it sickeningly sweet. And it gives me gas. I think I'll get some plain egg powder to use instead.
