Protein shakes = meal????

[Mavy]

I dont consider liquids to be meals. Protein shakes are what increase your protein intake between meals, after workouts, and before bed etc etc...

Protein shakes equal to a meal?
This is my question.
Can I consider a protein shake just like a meal?
If so, do I have to wait at least 3 hours between a shake and a regular meal?
I usually finish my workout around 8.30 pm and once home I have a shake and then dinner in a hour and another shake before going to bed.
Now, if I had to wait 3 hours after a shake, it would mean I should have my dinner around 11.30 pm and then my last shake before bed around 2.30am !!!
I'm confused...HELP!

Yes
No

Consume a porterhouse or ribeye steak(~8+ hours to digest)before retiring.
