It all depends on the person HiDn... I am trying to redefine my base diet so I can go from there with comp prep.
To be more specific that shake has like 320 cals, I only drank half of it b/c it was left over from last night and I didnt want it to go to waste.
Generally that would be an a.m. pwo shake so it's fine in the am, esp post w/o. I didnt have enough time to cook eggs & oats.
A little fact about me, my first project thread working with Shadow following his project, my last meal was the largest of the day... I had my PWO shake right after P.M. training (730-8 ish?), then my final meal (no sooner than an hour later ) ... just turned out that way that my last meal was the largest and I still had great results.
As far as lack of energy during the day, I would adjust my food to fix that if it became a problem.
For the normal person cutting I would probably add more cals in the early hours if hunger was an issue sure.
