Hi all, I’ve lost some weight since I was prescribed adderal. I have always been on the smaller side and lost the few pounds I had proudly gained in the last 7 years. I want to add some sort of protein shake or something similar to help me keep my weight? I tried to add more meals throughout my day but I just don’t food sometimes so hasn’t worked. Any recs?

The fairlife protein shakes are the best! Some are 42 grams of protein a bottle.

Seconding this one. The chocolate ones just taste like chocolate milk, so I never have to force myself to finish them.

Soylent

Watch for any sensitivity to the type of protein or artificial sweeteners

I find that all of my side effects, including loss of appetite, are better if I eat a decent breakfast. Even a high-protein yogurt (I like Siggi’s) usually does the trick. A lot of times I still don’t stop for lunch if I am busy, but at least I’ve gotten some protein to hold me over until dinner.

Good luck!
