Obviously eating whole foods is better, but I can't stomach so much and we're usually struggling to bring in food half the time, so I was wondering if this would be okay.
5 of my protein shakes daily.
That's 440 calories per shake, 60 grams of protein.
That's 2200 calories and 300 grams of protein every day from shakes.
Obviously not alot of carbs here, but that's okay because the 2200 calories obviously isn't enough for bulking, thusly I will have something rich in slow-burning carbs twice a day (baked beans, oatmeal, rice or pasta) and some veggies along with that.
I figure, I love the taste of the shakes, I can stomach them much easier, and even though it's whey (quick absorbtion) I'd be having one every 2.5 hours or so, like a regular meal - plus this will definitely help once school starts again. Of course, if I can fit in a tuna sandwich or something, then of course I'll do that, but this gives tons of calories, alot of which are from protein, so this wouldn't be too bad, would it?
I did the math on this and it's $30 for a 5 lb. tub that has 80 servings, delivered next day pretty much. At 5 shakes a day, that breaks down to replacing the tub every 16 days (a little over two weeks) which is roughly $15 weekly. My friend knows my predicament and being as he's rich (or very wealthy) and knows how badly I want to get bigger, but just never have all the resources or mental capacity in place, he's going to spot me $8 a week. My parents can certainly spare at least $4 each weekly, thusly giving me $16 a week, allowing me to pay for the protein and shipping and handlind charges.
It's also very quick to make a shake, and I've been very fuckin' busy lately, so I figure it'll work. Plus, that gets my days protein out of the way, all I'd need from there on out would be carb-filled meals and veggies. Oh, and of course, some flaxseed oil with one or two of my shakes.

) is that it's important to derive your daily protein requirements from a variety of sources. I'll see if I can find one of the articles I've read on this...
