If you're trying to lose weight you'll need smaller portion meals set apart about 3 hours to keep your metabolism going
Try
Egg whites with spinach
Slice of toast shake with one scoop protein
If you need extra calories add a spoon of pb to the toast or shake
Low cal/good fat/ high protein
That bit is nonsense, meal timing is irrelevant and has no effect on your metabolism.
I do agree with not replacing meals with shakes though.
Why not replace a meal with a shake if it fits into a persons calorie goals?
tbh - it is personal preference, but I think part of losing weight is learning healthy eating habits - replacing meals with shakes doesn't teach you about portion control etc.0 -

True, but every time someone even asks about shakes on here, there is always the comments about eating real food. You can still learn portion control and drink a shake once a day. I've done it for the past 3+ years and still am at a low weight for my height.0 -
My 513 calorie total "breakfast" includes a scoop of Combat before my daily 4 mile swim.
The at work I have 3 hard boiled eggs mixed with habañero peppers, Adobo, and a tbs of coconut oil.0 -

I'm guess you still have the shake every day - most people want to stop with the shakes and go back to real food - and that's where the problems start.0 -

Actually, no. I do not have a protein shake every day. However, as a nurse I don't often get off the floor for a break. So a protein shake comes in very handy for those times.0 -

A shake with breakfast is fine. 3 per day is usually the goal.
1. Breakfast
2. Before gym
3. After gym
Typical breakfast for me is
3 whole eggs
1 tbsp cheddar cheese
Bowl of oatmeal with some jam
1 scoop Protein shake with peanut butter
( 700 calories)
That was my first thought too. How dreamy would that be
