Replacing 2 meals with protein shakes

So my question is of I replace those 2 fart food meals with a shake and some fruit, will it help me lose weight?

I couldn't help but giggle at the typo - 'fart' food.

Personally I don't agree with replacing 2 meals with a shake. Calories aside, your body needs to get some minerals and vitamins from REAL food. Food that you can look at and actually know what it is that you're looking at, ie wholegrains, meat, vegetables, fruit etc.

If, and only if, those two shakes also have appropriate vitamins and minerals, it could be viable assuming you're getting enough calories throughout the day -- HOWEVER, the chances of you feeling sated by just drinking two of your meals is pretty low unless you have decent, filling snacks. Since you mentioned you have fatty snacks throughout the day, I'm assuming you mean bad fatty rather than good fatty (nuts, avocado, etc) so if you wanted to replace your fast food meals with protein shakes, maybe also substitute fatty snacks with apples, nuts, carrots, etc etc etc. Those are all pretty easy to pack and take with.

I'm personally not the biggest fan of replacing meals with a beverage because I personally don't feel full or satisfied if I'm drinking calories, but that's just how I personally work so if it works for you then that's great. I just see protein shakes as supplemental rather than replacement.

If you can pack shakes to eat during the day, why not real food instead? If time is an issue in the morning, set up overnight oats the night before and pack your lunch so it's all ready to go. Hard boiled eggs, toast and peanut butter, even a homemade "egg mcmuffin" - all easy grab & go breakfasts. If you don't have time to whip up a piece of toast and slap some peanut butter on it, get up ten minutes earlier - it's worth it! :bigsmile:

Pack healthy and satisfying lunches and snacks - raw almonds, sandwiches, fresh fruit, cheese sticks, yogurt, baby carrots....if you have access to a microwave, take dinner leftovers.

Personally, I'd rather have real food than a meal replacement shake. Eating and chewing is more satisfying, and regular food that you prepared yourself will be better for you. And you want to learn the healthy habits of eating your meals rather than drinking them - temporary changes will get you temporary results.
