Do protien shakes keep YOU full?

Would depend on the breakdown of the protein shake as per the food, if the shake has carbs and uses a lower grade of protein which takes the body longer to digest (milk protein, calcium caseinate) then it would keep you fuller as apposed to a straight no carb Protein isolate - same could be said about food though, eating 250cals of chicken rice and veggies would be more satisfying then 250cals of chocolate.

If the shake works for them then that's cool, if not just eat the food. If the macros are the same I know I would rather be eating a meal then having a shake.

Nope.

No.....That sounds like a meal replacement shake rather than a protein shake.

I add extra fiber to mine and it seems to do the trick most of the time, some days I am just hungrier than most so I'll just have a little extra....a couple of eggs, or a tbsp of peanut butter, 1 ounce of cheddar cheese (block). When I don't have to work and am not in a rush I will cook breakfast instead of drink it.

For the most part some people can do it and others can not

Protein shakes? No. Smoothies yes because I add all kinds of things such as veggies, greens, fruit, seeds, nuts, fiber powder, coconut oil etc. Depends on what I'm making. That keeps me full for quite some time.

None of them do. Heck even protein powder mixed in stuff seems like empty calories sometimes.

My smoothie has almost 500 calories.

fruit, almond milk, juice and protein powder it's more like a milk shake to be honest.

It fills me as much as my winter breakfast of 1 piece of toast with butter, ham slices and 2 egg muffins with ham, veggies and cheese.

I am not sure protein powder mixed with water or milk would be the same tho....

I say listen to your body...I personally feel hungry quicker by drinking the protein shakes vs. eating a meal.
I've also learned over time that sometimes hunger is mistaken for thirst...which is why I always drink water first when feeling hungry. Calories are calories regardless if its liquid or solid. Do what makes you feel best!!

I think most people are giving you the same advice. Packeted 'slimming' foods like protein shakes are a useful fall back because they do (generally) contain a balanced meal. But they are expensive and full of chemicals.
You will find that home made soups and milkshakes are not difficult to make and provide a far more delicious and nutritious meal.
In my view there is no doubt that a liquid meal, with a few added chunky bits of vegetable or tofu, is very satisfying and can be a nice low calorie option.
Equally if you need solid food then go ahead and enjoy. You can always achieve the same full stomach feeling by drinking a glass of water before the meal.
Above all, you will never achieve your goal unless you enjoy what you are eating.
Good luck

No, I only use them occasionally to meet my protein goal. And it is usually dumped into a bowl of cereal, so that it becomes food.

heck no. I just use them before a workout to keep my sugar stable, or if I had a too-low protein day to make up for it.

More bloated than full. I prefer solid foods with protein and fats for more satiety.

I like to have one with breakfast, but not in place of breakfast. Lately I have been drinking a protein shake that is 100 calories, 2 g fat, 6 g fiber and 15 g protein mixed with 10 oz of unsweetened almond milk. It goes well with a pack of oatmeal to carry me through until lunch, but not all by itself. I also sometimes use one for a snack, but it doesn't last long.

I don't use protein shakes as a meal replacement, only as a snack and to help meet my protein goals. The shakes I do are 160 calories, 30g of protein. It holds me over for 2-3 hours, maybe more. If I were to have 160 calories worth of chips, I would be hungry again in an hour, tops.
