How many SHAKES is too MANY?

[cwick0]

I've switched to 2...1 PW and 1 pre-bed...........

I think that is a much wiser chose, but let us know if you feel any different.


I quit drinking all shakes 9-10 months ago. I have a slow metabolism, but recover very quickly. I know, it doesnt make any sense. However, when i was drinking them, i gained a pound for every shake i drank. I finally decided that was enough.

I've read on this site that you should try to have no more than two per day

That wasnt what i meant at all.

Whenever i drink a protein shake i convert it relatively easy. I just didnt like the scale to continually go up. Once i hit 250 that was enough. Believe it or not less than 2 years ago i flucuated between 205 and 210, but then i started training 5 days a week, from 3.

I drink 2 a day, any more than that and i get bloated.

3-4 a day, 3-4 solid meals...i eat a lot

Is there really a problem with consuming a lot like Borg claims he does? I use them a lot too, because it's cheaper. The only thing more cost effective would be tuna, but that's got the mercury issue and I sure as hell don't want 4+ cans a day.

Chicken is expensive. So is lean beef. In bulk. Eggs are descent, but too many of those and there's a risk of cholestrol.

So, I saw Cwick said something about messing with your GI. I don't get what you mean by that man. Elaborate with some science, if you would. I wanna make sure there aren't any extremely high detriments to taking shakes.
