Just wondering if anyone else was doing protein shakes as part of their weight loss plan....I have just started...day 3...and so far so good. Not really hungry, no cravings, and I have to love that I have chocolate twice a day!
Anyway, feel free to add me!

I do protein shakes in my weight lost0
-
As meal replacement or a supplement before/after exercising?0
-
I don't drink them at all......I'd rather eat foods for my calories and nutrients.0
-
I don't do them as meal replacements, but I do drink them as prep or recovery from workouts. I prefer to eat a meal for a meal but really do love the protein boost before or after a workout0
-
I use them on workout days, particularly because I tend to go early in the morning and its asking too much of me to get up even earlier to have a proper breakfast.
I may occasionally use them as a lunch if I'm really not hungry, but definitely not all the time.0 -
A protein shake is just another source of protein. And you can use it to your advantage when it comes to replacing a meal, for example if your average calorie intake was 2000 calories, and this was all whole foods. Having a protein shake instead of, let's just say for example, lunch (300-400 calories), you replaced 3-400 calories with a 150 calorie protein shake. hypothetically speaking. It all depends on how you use it =]0

I am using them as meal replacements twice daily.0

I use protein shakes at least once a day....It is hard for me to get all of my calories in sometimes & this helps, I also use them in place of a meal if I am too busy to eat or for whatever reason....Especially since I have started weight training...It doesn't hurt that it is the only chocolate I get to have also...lol

I have one everyday for breakfast, mainly because I cant eat food in the morning.
In my mind its better to have a shake for brekkie than nothing0 -
Yup, that is fine (:
if you look at my diary, i replace 3-4 meals with protein shakes x) but then again, i eat 8 times a day
just wish MFP could add more time slots instead of 6 ):0 -
I do, I really really like them. They fill me up, and I would rather drink then eat sometimes.0
-
I do. About one a day as a snack. I have vanilla, but I'm getting chocolate next.0

I want to. But there is so many different brands that I dont know what to buy lol0

I am such a chocolate beast that I mix in a half packet of swiss miss diet cocoa mix and started using silk chocolate almond milk....soooo yummy. I have also added a drop of peppermint extract. I can see this becoming a bad habit! lol! :laugh:0
