Question for those who drink Boosts/Ensures

I usually drink about 3 Boosts (high protein) per day. I was wondering, for others who drink these, how many snacks/meals do you have besides the Boosts? 18 weeks was the point where I started to not feel queasy sometimes, so I've been eating more regular sized meals...and the Boosts are my "snacks." Before that I had several smaller meals along with my Boosts. I've already gained about 22 to 23 pounds at just 19 weeks! I tried hard to gain weight and now I feel like I'm gaining too much. Anyway, is it better to still have small meals or 3 meals with Boosts? Thanks.

I don't drink them anymore but when I did - I would eat my regular meals - maybe 2 or 3 small snacks and 2 or 3 boosts per day!
I have gained about 50 pounds during this pregnancy! but I have been on bedrest too so that doesn't help!! but my babies are measuring
6pounds 11oz and 7pounds 3oz !! we will see tomorrow how much they actually weigh!!

 

I was told to continue my 3 regular meals a day with boosts and something else as a snack (like a muffin, bagel, fruit)3 times a day and to add in another snack late in the day. I never really could eat all that food though LOL

 

When I was drinking them, I was having my regular meals and snacks as well as the boost! lol

But, I make shakes myself now and they have WAY more protein than the high protein boost shakes. They have 15g of protein I believe...

here's what I make:

8-10 ice cubs
1 cup milk (not sure how much protein)
1 cup yogurt (about 5g protein)
a handfull of frozen berries
1 banana
1 scoop whey protein powder (ok'd by my peri) (20g protein)
2 tablespoons peanut butter (7g protein)
Put it all in the blender for a few minutes an voila!

It makes a lot, but I usually have half and freeze the other half for later in the day. But it has a total of 32g of protein, plus the milk, whatever it has. I try to make them a couple times a day. And they taste way better in my opinion!

 

I drink my Boost during the middle of the night when I wake up hungry and are too tired to prep anything to eat. I usually only have this one a day.
