Eldergays, tell me about store-bought breakfast shakes

I’ve outgrown my days of post-gym protein drinks for “gains”. I also wake up without an appetite for a proper breakfast. Is there any benefit to drinking old-people shakes like Ensure for breakfast relative to having some coffee with toast and fruit?

I was a Carnation Breakfast devotee for a couple years, but I’m an itinerant and I travel a lot from city to city. I can’t always find it at local supermarkets.

What are your favorites? Are they worth their weight, or would one be worse for wear?

by Anonymousreply 225October 15, 2024 10:20 AM

Carnation Breakfast drinks are loaded with carbs.

If you have to drink them, drink Glucerna, which at least is low-carb.

I don't think Eldergays are the ones who were into store-bought breakfast shakes.

Orgain. Better quality ingredients than most of what else is out there.

I subscribe to a newsletter that tests products for nutrition, metals, if the products is what the label says.

A protein drink that made the cut was GNC Total Lean Shake 25.

Orgain was tested but didn’t pass because the drink contained more sodium than labeled. But if that doesn’t bother you, then that is an option as well.

My dietician recommended Fairlife protein shakes. The one downside I see in that, is the amount of calcium it contains—670mg. Your body can only absorb up to 500mg at a time. But again, if that is not a concern for you then go for it.

All 3 mentioned taste good. (Chocolate)

I don’t think I need a protein supplement per se. It’s just that even the idea of eating a full meal when I wake up turns me emerald green and I feel like I need to unswallow. Carnation Breakfast was tolerable but it’s got a lot of added sugar, and like I said it’s not very broadly available.

I use 2% milk usually. Is that the wrong move? I live in a small-town and typically don’t have access to oat or nut milks. I’ll sometimes crown it with a little drizzle of cream if I have some in the fridge and am feeling decadent.

I’m skittish about these engineered foods because of things like kidney stones. I’d be interested in one that gives your body vital nutrients but not so much of any one ingredient to create other issues.

My brother lived on protein powders and veggie burgers to stay thin in his late 30’s and early 40’s, but now at 64 looks rough and has issues with his live function and blood composition. I’m not sure if this is related to his extreme dieting in the 1990’s or not.

I’m better off theoretically, but I just don’t get the same kick from my morning glass of Ensure or Boost or any of the other so-called “old man” drinks lol. Well, on-ward.

The opening run-on, word salad, sentence in the weekly shit-stack mess.

“I was not heedless in Carthage, Tunisia, in the presence of this Headless Stillness yesterday and thus asked permission of this goddess - not a ghost but a permeation - before putting my arm around her form and placing my own head within the hollow of her where humanity could still be found, mine within the ancient mass of it all, fumbling about in her hallowed nothingness which, yes, permeated everything everywhere there on the stark magnificence of Odeon Hill overlooking the Mediterranean.”

Then he blathers on about some queen approaching him in Provincetown about how much his grim pillage means to him…and they both began blubbering like two old queens. How fucking pathetic. I’m sure a lot of this is embellished for dramatic effect, because that’s just his way.

Is there a reason he doesn’t work? I realize living in Airbnbs is probably cheaper than having a home, and I know you can get tickets on EasyJet for a song, and plops are likely cheaper than cans of Fancy Feast.

Well, he does do freelance jobs (for z-list magazines) like “Appalachian Woman” and there’s his Shitstack “column”….he has MAJOR IRS problems and it’s simply uproarious, because he thinks the rules don’t apply to him. So he has an issue, and has rooked his Dr. brother into sending “post dated checks” to the IRS for restitution. Long gone are the days of expense accounts and swanky hotels…now it’s just threadbare womens thrifted sweaters, crusty, musty jeans that ache to be scrubbo’d…and shared bathrooms in rotted hostels. That’s our grim pill!!

He also manages to spectacularly burn every rickety rope bridge lifeline he’s offered for his “writing”. Grazing correspondent, CDFA articles?

All gone could it be connected to numerous posts about how he was on deadline and late delivering copy. When all he had to do all damn day was neglect his pets and harrass baristas!

He doesn’t want to do any actual work - if he expended half the energy he does on his pretentious pronouncements he might even keep a freelance gig.

He didn’t buy a thing, and admonished the poor kid for calling him “Sir”…..TWICE. The kid was just being nice to a queen 40 YEARS OLDER. He didn’t know you had nothing.

The “part two” of her beach drama is on shitstack. It’s a terribly written account of a poor man drowning at the beach. He was CLEARLY too preoccupied by a “beautiful boy” in the water, and searching to compare himself to the old queen in DEATH IN VENICE, to *really* give a shit…so please don’t buy into the drivel about how it “profoundly affected” him. IF IT EVEN HAPPENED AT ALL. The writing on this entry is DREADFUL. Please seek it out and tell me I’m not crazy. There’s so much TYPICAL “me me me” in it, personally, I’m having an issue buying the entire thing.

Yes r119, he certainly made that guy’s purported drowning and death all about himself. He makes sure the reader knows how generous of spirit he is: after hightailing it away from beach to buy a cookie, he didn’t even burden the random snack bar boy with the knowledge the somebody drowned. As if that would have been in any way a normal or relevant topic to raise to a completely uninvolved stranger working (a probably single-digit dollars a day job) in an African beach town.

R120. Agree. The more I read his shitstack, the more this entry just doesn’t pass the “smell test”. It just doesn’t add up. Plus the dramatics of “Breathe, Breathe, Breathe” is just too fucking corny. If a man did pass away, may God rest his soul, but so much of this entry is “Bav-centric”, it actually makes me cringe. Let's face it, had the “beautiful boy” bobbling in the water given him the time of day…he’d be so dickmatized that World War 3 could have broken out. Plus the weirdness of his CONSTANT self body shaming, the reposting of the young Bav “swimsuit pic”….well, dear, if at 68 you haven’t come to terms with aging…you are doomed. If you actually thought about how many others your age would have LOVED to be 68…you’d sing a different tune.

So incensed was he that he didn’t even purchase the book he alleges he was going to buy. Personally, I would apologise and buy out of shame. The bookstore owner just popped up in his comments and explains it makes people uncomfortable to be photographed as they go about their work - I love her! She’s being very polite about it. I note she says to him he was likely greeted by her employee who is a man. I wonder if our creepy old fester was up to his old lascivious tricks snapping pics of young men?

“Small-town Tangier. This is my new friend Anas who helps run the Dar Gara hostel where I am staying until the end of November. I posted a video of him playing the guitar and singing the other day. He is as sweet and professional and kind as he is attractive. I got permission from him to post this photo of him on the beach. We’re going to build up your fan base, I joked but was sort of serious too. I am certainly a fan. And understanding star quality has been my job for over 30 years. He’s got it - humbly so - which is the best kind.”

Small-town Tangier. This felt as mystical as it was unexpected though I guess all mysticism is embedded in the unexpected. This lone white crane flew high up onto this cliff where I was walking today and intersected not only with my walk but also my life and this pilgrimage where I now live it. It came, alighted in my acknowledgment, then, acknowledged, left me in a kind of awe. I have been quite contemplative the last couple of days - not sad exactly, not lonely, but mindful of missing something without knowing if it were someone, unnamed, unmet, a longing to understand not an aloneness but a loneness. And then this: a loneness manifested as a winged creature of such beauty and magnificence, a lone white crane, who had within it - has - the ability not only to alight in a contemplative stillness but also to steady itself in flight. I more deeply steadied myself in the stillness where a lone white crane can come to rest in our shared contemplation, one where I cannot fly but can take flight. Onward …

OMG. The London Sexual Senior landlady posted a YouTube about masturbating. She’s fucking repulsive. Poor “Pan” having to deal with these two senior deviants skulking around the flat, the landlady’s quest for “self exploration” (call it what it is, bitch, you’re fingering your quim!) & the bav leering and longing for a fragrant movement to savor. (Allegedly) It’s really quite disgusting and I’m gagging just writing this. ew!!

I use Boost Plus, chocolate. I can't eat enough to stay healthy without the help of these, they've come in handy when older relatives get sick and have no appetite too.

Ensure, however, can be covered by insurance, but it has a chalky 'undertaste' and isn't a nutrient rich as a Boost+.

Yep r188 we called it. He must have managed to scare up a few dollars of dry beg cash, Paris for a month will be a lot more expensive than Tangier. He has done fuck all writing in the time he’s been there apart from streams of drivel on socials and shitstack - surely a couple of features could have been written? Nope, too lazy and entitled to be bothered doing real work.

“Daddy” isn’t happy… ps: I do believe that “Zelle” snafu he’s referring to is when the hustler in Hudson tried to “extort” money from him. But he conveniently leaves that part out… It’s that evergreen adage all over again. “Here I sit, all broken hearted💔, came to shit 💩, but only farted💨. ——————————————————————————- “Tomorrow I catch the fast train to Rabat for a few days mostly not only to see a different part of Morocco but also to live in an apartment by myself. The young people who work here at the Dar Gara hostel are lovely and it is beautifully run and I have grown to feel at home in my tiny room because I have become rather adaptable in my pilgrim's life. But two experiences the last two nights have proved it is not only time to head to a private space for a few days but also to get to Paris on October 28th for a month before my Christmas month in Vienna.

There is an alternating cast of characters in the communal aspect of living in a hostel - some are lovely, some are problematic which is why overall I have begun spending more time out in the city and then in my room when not cooking my meals in the open air kitchen on the terrace above me. I feel so often, as well, a kind of bemused patience with this eccentric old guy in the midst of this young international crowd smoking their hash/tobacco concoctions and carrying on conversations in an amalgam of languages that I am incapable of comprehending. But sometimes being looked on with a kind of disdainful bemusement is better than not being seen at all - which is also part of being old in such a crowd.

Last night there was an American woman with a complicated narrative on her way to check out from spending the night here who let it be known to me that she was short 60 dirham to get her to her next destination. I gave her 20 out of my wallet but then I saw the way she looked at what was left in it as if I had pulled out my dick and she were horny. I registered her rather rapacious eyes registering the other money I had in my wallet. Then she immediately asked if I had a Zelle account and wanting to borrow money that way "so I can then pay you back easier." I once fell for someone who used the same line on me and Chase locked me out of my own account since the security red flags went up about the person I had loaned a very small amount of money that way because I guess they were trying to gain access to my account. I had to jump through hoops to get it unlocked. I'm an easy mark because I am always trying to find ways to pay kindness forward in my life. But that immediate Zelle request sent my own alarms ringing.

Then just a moment ago there was a beautiful young woman upstairs who does not stay here but lives here in Morocco and is from Russia. I have noticed how often she visits. I think she must have romantic designs on or a relationship with someone who works here. I heard her last week talking politics and saying that "Ukraine has sold its soul to Israel" and continued to demonize the country. Tonight she began to tell me how much she loved Putin and what great things he was doing for Russia. I held up my hand and told her, "I don't agree with you so we just won't talk about that." She was talking to a young French man and German woman while I was waiting to brush my teeth in the bathroom upstairs after the person who was taking a shower finished. We all fell quiet.

I brushed my teeth.

I heard them talking more quietly in languages I didn't want to comprehend.

I'm now about to pack the smaller of my two suitcases.

Tomorrow: Rabat.” 🙄🙄🙄🙄

LOLOLOL. “I brushed my teeth”….ALL TWO OF THEM!!

R196 I’d wager all the earlier pics and vids of young men he was thirsting after - the cool as merde crowd - didn’t exactly endear him to other hostel dwellers who laugh at his pathetic ways.

My favorite is this: “I'm an easy mark because I am always trying to find ways to pay kindness forward in my life” - what utter self-serving horsemerde!

Humble bragging about sharing your day old baked goods or making a cake for someone that you then EAT or taking a plus one to a performance on FREE tickets isn’t paying fuck all forward.

“I noticed a group of lesbians at Cafe Baba a couple of days ago and this morning I walked by two groups of gay men being given tours. This second group in this photo was watching me in recognition walk down the hill toward them and when I passed them I raised a fist in solidarity and got some smiles in return and some nodded heads”.

As a counterpoint to his whiny griping yesterday, the Bav decides to regale us with how he “connected” with a bunch of gays… he “raised a fist in solidarity”… Sure, Jan. ARE YOU SURE YOU WEREN'T SENDING A SIGNAL THAT YOU WANTED TO BE FISTED? Talk about being COMPLETELY out of step and acting the fool. Jesus Christ.

Omg she got lost *again* today, and made a huge production of her phone dying, and seeking refuge in a hotel to charge her phone. I guess she’s not aware that portable charges exist, and carrying one in a foreign land may be a wise choice. But then again, it would eliminate the drama that swirls around a Magooey moron playing the befuddled fogey. I just couldn’t do it. I’m not a grim pill, and I CERTAINLY don’t like to make a nuisance of myself.

The sterile scent of antiseptic battled with the faint, lingering odor of stale coffee in the hospital room. Kevin Sessums, the Southern literary enfant terrible, lay motionless in the bed, tubes snaking from his nose and arms. His normally sharp, sardonic features were slack, his skin an alarming shade of pale. The culprit? A steady diet of "stra-fe" breakfasts – those hastily assembled, nutritionally dubious morning meals consumed on the fly. Years of black coffee and cigarettes had finally caught up with him, culminating in a spectacular digestive revolt that had landed him in a coma. Hovering over him like anxious angels of the absurd were three figures: Teacake, the flamboyant drag queen with a heart of gold; Defacto, the stoic artist whose every utterance was a performance piece; and Greg, the sensitive soul who couldn't stop crying. "Oh, Kevin, honey," Teacake wailed, dabbing at her eyes with a lace handkerchief. "You always did have a taste for the dramatic, but this is ridiculous! Waking up in a hospital gown? Where's the glamour in that, darling?" Defacto, perched on the edge of the bed, stared intently at Kevin's face. "His aura," he declared in a booming voice, "is the color of lukewarm grits. Not a good sign." Greg, meanwhile, had dissolved into a puddle of tears. "He promised we'd go to that new Vietnamese place! He promised!" he sobbed, clutching a crumpled napkin. The scene was a bizarre tableau of grief, camp, and Southern gothic. Teacake, resplendent in a feather boa and rhinestone-studded sunglasses, intermittently shrieked and offered Kevin sips of lukewarm Diet Coke. Defacto, clad in black leather and chains, periodically broke into interpretive dance, attempting to channel Kevin's subconscious. And Greg, bless his heart, just kept crying. Days turned into nights. The nurses, initially startled by the eccentric trio, grew accustomed to their presence, even developing a fondness for their peculiar brand of bedside vigil. Teacake regaled them with tales of Kevin's legendary wit, Defacto challenged them to philosophical debates, and Greg, well, he just kept crying. Then, one morning, a miracle occurred. Kevin's eyelids fluttered open. He blinked, confused, taking in the sight of his three friends. "What in the hell..." he rasped, his voice hoarse. Teacake squealed with delight. "Kevin, darling! You're back!" Defacto nodded sagely. "The grits have warmed," he proclaimed. Greg, overcome with emotion, simply threw his arms around Kevin, sobbing uncontrollably. "Get off me, you big crybaby," Kevin croaked, but a faint smile played on his lips. As the news of Kevin's awakening spread, the hospital room filled with well-wishers, a motley crew of writers, artists, and socialites. The air buzzed with laughter and chatter, a testament to the enduring power of friendship, even in the face of digestive disaster. And as Kevin, weak but recovering, surveyed the scene, he couldn't help but think that maybe, just maybe, there was a little glamour in this hospital room after all.

R209. It’s all part of his “schtick”…get lost, act bewildered, slither into a hotel where he really doesn’t belong (remember when he found one he *loved* to shit in? Way before Starbucks, mind you…long time Bav-ites will recall) and make a general nuisance of himself. I loved when he’d go to the Dior store in Paris and “camp out” on one of the sofas and “read”. What a fucking tool. Once again, hotel staff, baristas, retail salespeople…all “trapped”, and he knows it.

on Frenchmen Street, Kevin Sessums, the acclaimed writer, nursed a Sazerac, his brow furrowed in thought. Across the room, Defacto, the enigmatic performance artist, captivated the crowd with their mesmerizing movements, their body a language all its own.Kevin, drawn to Defacto's raw energy, felt a familiar tug at his heart. He'd always been a sucker for the unconventional, the wild souls that burned bright. But there was another, a shadow lurking in the corner. Teacake, the reclusive painter, observed the scene with a quiet intensity, their eyes flickering between Kevin and Defacto. Teacake, known for their hauntingly beautiful portraits, had a way of seeing beneath the surface, capturing the essence of a person with a single stroke.As the night wore on, the air crackled with unspoken desires. Kevin, torn between Defacto's vibrant presence and Teacake's silent allure, found himself caught in a web of longing. Just when the tension seemed unbearable, a newcomer entered the bar. Greg, the charming musician, with his easy smile and soulful eyes, immediately caught Defacto's attention. The two fell into conversation, their laughter echoing through the room.Kevin watched, a pang of jealousy rising in his chest. Teacake, sensing his turmoil, approached him, their hand gently resting on his arm. A silent understanding passed between them, a shared acknowledgment of the tangled emotions that filled the room. As the night drew to a close, the four individuals found themselves at a crossroads. Defacto, torn between Greg's lighthearted charm and Kevin's intellectual depth. Kevin, wrestling with his attraction to both Defacto and Teacake. Teacake, the quiet observer, yearning for a connection they weren't sure they deserved. And Greg, oblivious to the undercurrents of desire swirling around him.The love quadrangle, a tangled knot of longing and uncertainty, was just beginning to unfold. In the heart of New Orleans, under the watchful eye of the moon, these four souls would navigate the complexities of love, searching for their own truth amidst the chaos.

Kevin Sessums is working on his latest memoir. He's trying to decide on a title, and he's narrowed it down to two choices: "My Life with Teacake" or "Defacto, Greg, and me."

“Small-town Tangier. Leftovers for Sunday dinner. When I save half the rice and roasted chicken from the day before and stir it into the garlic and green beans I have sautéed in olive oil and make a kind of good golly miss Molly that’s good goulash .”
