    Think your right Id rather have proper food just stuck on what to have for breakfasts that will fill me up?
    An omelette or bacon and eggs. I'm not carb-phobic, and I find egg and toast soldiers keeps me full for ages!

    I have mine with skimmed milk and it really does fill me up all morning- only just ate my lunch. I do drink it slowly though as otherwise I find it quite heavy in my stomach.


    Not sure if I am posting this right!

    Would you please give recipe ideas for shakes.

    I literally just put skimmed milk and protein powder in the blender, that's it. But when I used to make a lot of smoothies I would use any fruit, usually bananas and berries though, and blend them with some low fat natural yogurt. You could make smoothies and add protein powder to that. I think there's quite a few threads with smoothie recipes.

    I also drink mine with skim milk, and they are filling. I drink mine within half an hour after training (which is usually around 2pm) , and am satisfied until dinner which is usually around 6:00. I also usually try and drink one before bed as well.
    My husband and I have tried a TON of different brands. We have found the best one (in taste and nutrients) is Optimum Nutrition brand 100% Whey Protein...we buy it at bodybuilding.com. The vanilla cream and strawberry banana are our favorites.

    I use the same brand. LOVE it! My favorite is the cake batter flavor - goes with anything!

    Depends on the type of protein shake. I use qivana's metaboliq shakes which do have enough protein to keep you full and they actually help correct your metabolism so you are burning calories after drinking it. Initally I was hungry about 2 1/2 hours after drinking it (for like the first 2 days) now it keeps me full for about 3 1/2 hours. I actually think it fills me up better then when I'm eating a meal but to each his own.
