Hi everyone,

I am just curious on your thoughts about protein powder shakes for weight loss? I am not getting enough protein in my diet, and I worry that it can be detrimental to my progress. But question.... Doen't those usually have a ton of calories too?

Suggestions, advice?

Thanks :)

    nope, not a ton of calories.

    mine is 110 calories and 21 grams of protein. its whey, but thats actually pretty close to the calories/protien you'd see in chicken breast.

    Is it a good way to help you lose weight? absolultely.

    most people want to hang on to the muscle they have while they cut fat, you'll need protein to do that. and this is a low cal source of it.

    but you could just cook chicken breasts all day. the shakes are more convienient and probably cheaper.
