Genecks Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I was going through the store today being a thrifty shopper. I could have chose the Atkin's shakes I typically buy; however, I didn't want to buy those because I don't feel they should be recognized as an addition for the Atkin's nutritional approach. I had to find an alternative. I've always liked the idea of buying those StarKist Tuna Flavor Fresh Pouches; however, always found them too expensive for my liking. The Atkin's shakes were more expensive: $6.00 USD for four Atkin's and $5.56 for four tuna pouches. As I saw these prices on the shelf, I became aware to the fact that the tuna pouches were cheaper. Something that has been a question on my mind lately is why the Atkin's shakes were becoming more expensive. Four shakes in a package were once $5.00 or so, and during that time, four tuna pouches were more expensive. I've always been concerned about the protein intake when it comes to these shakes and pouches. There are about 14 g of protein per shake, and there is 40+ grams per pouch. Certainly, the tuna is the better deal for those who want to increase their protein intake for a decent price; therefore, I chose the tuna pouches.

YT2095 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 surely a bag of nuts or a tin of beans works out alot cheaper per gram and has just as high (if not higher) protein %. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phi for All Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Eating continuously is why Atkins is in business in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 there IS a certain logic in eating continuously to loose weight though. as contra-intuitive as at apears prima faci. something to do with you body not having to Store energy as fats anymore because it`s being fed regularly and doesn`t need to any longer. although I suspect this is only suitable for Certain types of metabolism and the "Rule" so to speak.
