Do any of you guys do meal replacement shakes Or protein shakes?

Ok maybe not just too tired to eat but don't feel like putting something together for a meal..

    I usually grab a spoon and a peanut butter jar.

    Couldn't resist. When I'm too tired to cook, I grab something filling and easy with protein/fat like pb and crackers or pb sandwich.
    Never been too tired to eat! :D

    How much (as in how many calories) are you currently eating?

    Struggling is often a sign of over-restriction (too few calories).

    I understand what you mean. I'm not a fan of shakes but I see nothing at all wrong with them if you like them. I usually grab some nuts and a piece of fruit or a pbj sandwich.

    I'm usually too tired to cook rather than eat so keep a supply of hard boiled eggs, baby bel cheese and soup handy so I can grab something and have a meal in moments. Or instant hot chocolate work for me too.

    If you like shakes, I have a really filling and literally 4 minute recipe. 1 or 2 scoops (depending on calories left) of your favorite protein (i use Fitmiss vanilla chai) 1 cup water, handful ice, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa. Blend it up and enjoy =)

    This has happened to me once. Maybe twice. In my whole life. I just got some sleep and ate extra when I woke.

    ETA: If this is happening regularly, re-check your TDEE to be sure you are getting enough fuel for your activities.

    I'm baffled by the whole concept. When I'm extra tired is when the spoon and PB jar or ice cream tub are more liable to come out.

    I usually throw together a cheese and spinach omelette, or a baked potato with tuna and apple.
    If really really tired- protein shake with water/ or protein bar, with a banana, and orange.
    Or Greek yogurt with protein bar and banana chopped into it.
    Or cottage cheese, pear, nuts and celery.

    Cheers, h.
