    I drink Special K once in awhile. It's yummy! Don't know if it's bad for me but it's definitely not the worse thing I put in my body.

    I have to ask.


    What's the worst thing?!

    I have a Special K Protein Breakfast Shake (Vanilla Cappuccino) for breakfast every day during the week before my workout. Just part of trying to streamline my mornings to I actually get the workout in! Once I'm done and at work I usually follow up with some almonds and/or yogurt. I'm sure I could get up earlier and make something healthier from scratch... but I know myself and my weaknesses: I'd just end up skipping the workout then!

    Because some people just like to drink their meals!

    Personally, if I'm going with a liquid diet I prefer fruit juices like pineapple or orange juice. With rum.

    Personally, I like to drink my meals from the source. :smokin: :drinker:

    They're unsustainable as meal replacements for most people, but as snacks or, if you are a small breakfast kind of person, a breakfast, they're fine. I drink protein shakes (in a can or from a powder) as snacks or occasionally as breakfast. I often blend them with frozen fruit (especially since the not-chocolate ones are sort of gross alone), which is delicious. It helps me with protein when I don't have time to cook.

    Try not to use shakes as they contain a TON of sugar, not counting milk, which will help you gain wait. Try Atkins protein shakes, they taste disgusting but are pretty filling and without all the sugars. :)

    Why not eat real food in moderation?

    I use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard whey protein and make shakes, it's cheaper plus I control what else goes into it. I either use them as a supplement or as lunch depending on how busy I am and my workout schedule. I find them much more satisfying than the pre-made shakes and they help me meet my macros when I can't do it with food alone.
