      So lately I have been getting very nauseous from my protein shakes...

      My day consists of:

      7:00 am - get up
      7:30 am - breakfast consisting of 5-6 eggs (mostly whites) and a piece of WH toast or a Meal Replacement Shake (24 g protein, 24 g carbs)
      10:00 am - pre-workout protein shake w/creatine and half of a sweetpotato
      11:15 - workout
      12:30-12:45 pm - post-workout shake and a banana
      1:30 - chicken breast and 1 cup of WH pasta (just hot sauce)
      4:00 - 6 oz greek yogurt
      7:00 - supper (meat and veggies - no carbs)
      10:00 - protein shake (casein)

      My current goal is cutting weight so I am eating around 250g protein, 150g carbs, 30g fat

      My first question is does anyone see any issues with this current eating plan for cutting

      The biggest thing is what changes can I make pre and post workout to avoid the nausea. Before I was eating almonds and a 2% cheese stick but ditched it for the protein and sweetpotato but its killing me. I workout on my lunch break so I cannot change that and I am never hungry it at least 10 am due to the eggs.

      I hope someone with a lot more knowledge on nutrition will chime in. I have tried to research for myself but you get so many conflicting ideas

      Thanks guys.

      First off, how much do you weigh?
      Secondly, are you 100% sure its the protein shakes that are causing the nausea and not being dehydrated? If it is the protein shakes, are you having a reaction to the type of protein used?

      Also, you dont need to shy away from sat fat. Sat fat (in moderation) keeps t-levels up.

      **PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ANYONE ELSE RESPONDS**

      Current weight is 213. I forgot a key piece of information. I am using cellucor C4 extreme as my preworkout energy. So the problem is I am unable to drink a protein shake (10:00 am) and use my preworkout shake (taken about 10:45) without getting nauseous. On my cardio days I do not use the C4 and do not have the nausea. Also I can take the C4 on days when I do not drink a protein shake beforehand and I do not have any issues. So its really the combo of the two. I cannot believe I forgot this bit of info. So with that being said is there an alternative preworkout energy drink that is not as harsh on the system. I really love the C4 it help so much with my intensity. What is more important the intensity gained from the C4 or the protein preworkout. I do drink a shake immediately after my workout as well.

      Thanks

      Dymatize ISO-100 Hydrolyzed Whey - taste like crap btw. I was using MusclePharm Combat Power which is a blended protein and tasted amazing.However, I never took it and the C4 together so I do not know if the effect (nausea) would be the same.
