is protein shakes considered calories?

The OP eats chicken, turkey, and fish. I'd be sad if I couldn't eat meat.

An 8oz sirloin steak offers the about the same nutritional value as 2 scoops of your protein shake. And it will fill you up.

Well, yes.

I'm sure there are other things that have same amount of protein, calories, whatever too.

But I'm assuming most people drinking protein shakes do so when a protein shake suits them better than a steak.

Why is it either/or? I use both, often on the same day.

I just made a comparison, didn't suggest either/or.

It was obviously meant as a better option. I was wondering why?

Not sure point of comparison then.

Would be like a thread on slices of bread and someone randomly saying a banana ( made up example) has same calories - well yes, but what is point of comment???

Vegetarians generally chose that for ethical reasons. I'm sad there aren't more vegetarians.

I've been vegetarian for over 27 years. I'm actually a pretty happy person. (And a condition on my scalp went away about 2 weeks after I went meatless and hasn't been back much since.)

A few 8 ounce steaks and I could buy another 30 something serving jar of protein powder. Sometimes steak ain't in the budget.

But it sure is tastier.
