Unsweetened almond milk with Optimum Nutrition Cookies and Cream protein powder is delicious.

There are 40 calories in 1 cup of Almond Milk.
Calorie breakdown: 74% fat, 13% carbs, 13% protein.

There is only about 1.5 g of protein in one cup of Almond milk. One would have to drink a shitload of this to get a noticeable amount of protein. There are 9 g of protein in low or non-fat cow's milk.

lol at Almond milk.  It is just almond juice.

I'm pretty sure we established that Chiro is not drinking it as an additional source or an alternative source of protein. It just helps him handle his cravings (and happens to be really fucking delicious).

Aside: I like to make my own almond milk and cashew milk. It's remarkably easy if you have a high powered blender, and has a super smooth taste. I like to get a little Martha-Stewarty from time to time. I use this recipe:

It's a scam. They barely put any almonds in it.

Quite pricey for what they deliver, but if it works for you, rock on.

Diet coke is my beverage of choice for cravings.  Egg whites cooked with cinnamon and stevia for a solid meal.

Chiro, what's your diet look like?  Give us some deets bro

I love diet coke as well but I'm trying to minimize my artificial sweetener use.

Diet is pretty boring and simple.

40/40/20 carbs/protein/fats. 250g protein & carbs.

The usual plethora of delicious extravagant diet choices like Salmon & Rice, steak and sweet potato, eggs and oats...each twice daily. No shakes at all just food....real ground breaking stuff.

This has me back down to high single digits where I'll just keep maintaining with a few big cheats every week.

Ive been reminded recently  that when just "maintaining", you still have hunger pains and are hungry between meals  >:(

A lot of people in this thread seeking magically large quantities of calories and sustenance in a half-gallon low cal beverage. It's not the purpose of almond milk bros.

Wow! Thanks for the recipe. My daughter avoids dairy as much as possible. I am going to send her the recipe and I am going to try it myself.

it ends up being cheaper than the store bought version,  and tastes better because there isn't anything in it that I didn't put in it. A touch of vanilla, cinnamon, and salt-  BOOM!  DREAM DRINK!
(I'm a dork. I will pretty much try to make ANYTHING on my own)

I've posted tons of pics and selfies on here bro. From my most shreddiest to my most fat-falconiest. I believe you even once said I had a nice ass or something along those lines.

228 currently at 5'10. Leanest I've been at this weight bro

Contest diet is the same, but no cheats. I'm crushing 2 large pizzas a week right now. Keeps me lean but still making gains. Next show I may lower carbs even more if needed. Hard to predict because I've grown a lot since my last one. Either way I'm starting 16 weeks out so I can adjust accordingly. I like a moderate balanced approach with plenty of time for adjustments.
