I feel irritable/ tired 45 mins after drinking protein

[gutsandblood]

my diet consist of eqq beaters, oats, chicken breast and brown rice. 6 meals a day. I feel great and energetic 45 minutes to an hour after these meals. I use evening primrose oil and omega-3 pills for necessary fatty acids.

I am a satellite installer. even though I am my own supervisor and I am out there by myself. I find it hard sometimes to make myself shutdown for the 15 to 20 minutes it takes to eat my meals at the proper times, when I am in the middle of an install. the sooner I get my installs done, the sooner I go home.

I would love the convenience of an mrp, or even replace the chicken for a protein shake and keep the brown rice, to save a little time.

but for me, mrps and protein shakes(whey or casein) makes me very tired or irritable or sleepy, 45 minutes later. it seems to me that the brown rice would slow the absorbsion of the shake, but it dose'nt

does anyone else have this problem?

I am also wondering if i stuck with them for a week or 2, would my body adjust to them?

i've never had this problem. if i was u, i would stay w/it awhile and see how u do. or drink a lot of low fat milk. cheap protein.

Mix in some olive oil, primrose oil, or some flax oil. These fats will slow down the absorption of the protein and hopefully make you less irritable. The more you can slow it down the less irritable you will be. You seem to respond like i used to. Also stay away from Muscle Milk. That really gave me a headache! Hope this helps!
