Protein shake as a snack (not following exercise)
Replies

I have protein shakes as a snack sometimes, but IMO (and I don't claim to be an expert) they are also well utilized before bed and after a strenuous workout.0

I have had them as a snack when I have a lot of calories left but I'm not really hungry...:drinker:
I also do this. If I know I need to eat (while trying to loose weight you should eat every 3-4 hours) but I am not hungry, I will have half a protein shake. My favorite is Bolthouse Farms Protein Plus Chocolate.0 -

I have a whey protein smoothie 2-3 times a day, if I have 3 then its because I drank one for breakfast but when I have them as snacks its under 200 calories. this afternoon I had triple chocolate (1 scoop whey), 1/2 banana and 1/4 cup of greek yogurt, total 187 calories. if you are only at 1200 calories a day then that might not fit in your needs but I am at 1500 and I find that these shakes make the perfect snack.0 -
I have one at 3 pm as a snack all the time. It helped me stop eating like crazy mid-afternoon. If I eat lunch at 12 or 1, there's no way I cam make it to 6 p.m. without getting hungry. Especially on days when I do double workouts for 2 hours total. I always add ice- something about freezing ice mixed with milk and a little protein powder really curbs cravings. I say go for it!0

Thanks for bringing it back up. It was something I was considering today0
