If protein shakes are so good why cant i drink them all day?

I know this is a stupid question but i just want to know how i t reacts differently to food.

My biggest concern with this would be whether or not the label claims of a specific product actually met what they were claiming...

 

[powerhouse972]

that has always been my problem with shakes, i dont even have 1 usually during the day unless i am out and about without food.

Right now I take 3 shakes a day, each contain 90-100 grams of protein,

The protein assimilation at that high of an amount per serving can't be that good...

90-100gms of protein in one shake? Jesus... the body can only absorb a finite amount of protein in one sitting... and it's nowhere close to 100gms.

Besides the farts, it's good to eat real food. Right now I take 3 shakes a day, each contain 90-100 grams of protein, and then a 3-5 real meals. That seems to work the best for me.

Thats been argued to death a million times. I'm up 20lbs in three weeks, I don't think I'll lower the amount now. I'd rather take in too much, rather than too little. If I was off cycle, I would only take 1gram per lb, or around 270-300grams daily.

Ginger root helps me digest. It's noticable, night and day!

If I go low carbs, then I jack up my protein and take ginger root with every shake ... and no farting or anything.

Besides the farts,

Man I with you on this one I get terrible farts on protein shakes. ........TAPOUTM

Sk, where can I get some? These farts are out of control. I wanted to bulk clean, so to make up for missed calories, I upped the protein big time, but I don't know how much more I can take this gas! My girl isn't too happy about it either! LOL
