Protein Powder Shake for Breakfast?

Previously I had been drinking a cup of coffee and having an orange or another fruit for breakfast, but after several days I realized I was only getting about half the amount of protein I needed each day (most of which came from protein shake after daily workouts). Yesterday I decided to start replacing that breakfast with another protein shake. Is that an alright idea? Now I'm getting a little more than the suggested protein each day.

    A shake in the morning is fine. However, you do need to try to get more whole foods in you. Also, the preset protein requirements on this site are IMO way to low.

    I usually only have a protein shake for breakfast and LOVE IT.
    If I still feel hungry I add a slice of bread (45 cal wheat) with either natural peanut butter or my new love PB2.
    If I am really hungry or know I didnt eat enough the night before, I add a breakfast sandwich to the shake, but that is not all the time.

    I love the shakes for breakfast. Just make sure you are adding something in your diet a few hours later to help you along. :)
