Whey Protein as meal replacements?

Ordered some Whey Protein and wondered if these can be used for meal replacements throughout the day?

I don't use that brand but I think that most are basically the same. The protein and carbs look good. I have used a shake as a replacement for breakfast for the past 7 months on Doctors recommendation and it has helped me.

I would be careful to not substitute too many meals as most of these shakes are not meant as meal replacements and will not contain the vitamins/minerals that you need.

Good luck, hope that one tastes good. Some are not so good.

I think that you can eat anything you like for any meal - but just make sure that you are eating a variety of different foods at other times so you are still getting in enough vitamins, minerals and other goodies that you need to stay healthy.
I wouldn't use shakes to replace meal because I'd still be hungry - but if it works for you - go for it!
