Supplements

[Shaedar]

Hey guys, I've got something for you.

I've never used supplements before, until mother brought some from job. She's a nurse at dialysis "department" and they were provided with some drinks for their pacients, obviously a protein shakes with lots of calories and other goodies.
Since I don't know much about this stuff, I'd like you to tell me if it's ok to gobble down one once in a while.

One thing is sure. They taste good !

MRP, don't confuse them with protein shakes because that amount is really not that high. I reckon it is an easy way to get nutrients to a patient that has problems chewing and/or swallowing.

[Shaedar]

MRP ?

And it's for people with kidney malfunctions and similiar problems.

Guess I'll just have another steak before bed, instead of this.

those things are fucking revolting haha

i've had to try every flavour when i worked in a hospital as a dietitian

[compleks]

Haha, you had to?

[compleks]

I would avoid them personally, but that's because I can't even pronounce half of the ingredient list.

[Skippy]

MRP ?




Meal replacement .... I'm assuming the next word is product :tongue:

[shengoikee]

Haha, you had to?

yes actually. it was one of the learning tasks.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

I have one of my nan's every now & then. Pretty tasty & an easy 300kcal...Every calorie counts for me...I'm an ecto.

[compleks]

yes actually. it was one of the learning tasks.

What did you learn from that experience?

[shengoikee]

What did you learn from that experience?

how to explain how bad they taste to patients haha

the lime ones are the worst

working in hospitals is basically awesome though

[compleks]

Sounds pretty cool. Your job that is, not the lime flavoured milk drink.

I've only really stayed in hospital a couple of times, but I quite enjoyed the food there. Maybe that's because I had to fast for 24hours prior to eating though.
If I worked in a hospital I would raid the food trolleys/kitchen all day.

[shengoikee]

haha all you need to do to get you through the day is imagine you're in an episode of scrubs

and yeah hospital food isn't so bad

Until you contract every disease possible.

the mrps they feed hospital patients are absolute garbage from a nutritional standpoint

then again most hospitals and med schools are espousing "scientific" nutritional information from the mid 1950s so its not that surprising
