Anyone else doing protein shakes??

lynn7298

Just wondering if anyone else was doing protein shakes as part of their weight loss plan....I have just started...day 3...and so far so good. Not really hungry, no cravings, and I have to love that I have chocolate twice a day! Anyway, feel free to add me!

I do protein shakes in my weight lost

As meal replacement or a supplement before/after exercising?

I don't drink them at all......I'd rather eat foods for my calories and nutrients.

I don't do them as meal replacements, but I do drink them as prep or recovery from workouts. I prefer to eat a meal for a meal but really do love the protein boost before or after a workout

I use them on workout days, particularly because I tend to go early in the morning and its asking too much of me to get up even earlier to have a proper breakfast.

I may occasionally use them as a lunch if I'm really not hungry, but definitely not all the time.

A protein shake is just another source of protein. And you can use it to your advantage when it comes to replacing a meal, for example if your average calorie intake was 2000 calories, and this was all whole foods. Having a protein shake instead of, let's just say for example, lunch (300-400 calories), you replaced 3-400 calories with a 150 calorie protein shake. hypothetically speaking. It all depends on how you use it =]

I am using them as meal replacements twice daily.

I use protein shakes at least once a day....It is hard for me to get all of my calories in sometimes & this helps, I also use them in place of a meal if I am too busy to eat or for whatever reason....Especially since I have started weight training...It doesn't hurt that it is the only chocolate I get to have also...lol

I have one everyday for breakfast, mainly because I cant eat food in the morning.

In my mind its better to have a shake for brekkie than nothing

akiramezu

Yup, that is fine (:
if you look at my diary, i replace 3-4 meals with protein shakes x) but then again, i eat 8 times a day
just wish MFP could add more time slots instead of 6 ):

I do, I really really like them. They fill me up, and I would rather drink then eat sometimes.

QueenChacon

I do. About one a day as a snack. I have vanilla, but I'm getting chocolate next.

I want to. But there is so many different brands that I dont know what to buy lol

I am such a chocolate beast that I mix in a half packet of swiss miss diet cocoa mix and started using silk chocolate almond milk....soooo yummy. I have also added a drop of peppermint extract. I can see this becoming a bad habit! lol! :laugh:

I make protein pudding from my Dymatize Vanilla Whey, plain greek yogurt, usually some fruit or sugar. It tastes like vanilla pudding. NOM NOM NOM
