To Many Protein shakes?????

[BJA]

Is there any harm in eating 3-4 shakes a day along with 1-2 meat meals?? It is hard and alot of work to keep cooking all day long. Shakes are nice and easy and gets the protein in quick. Also trying to keep the carbs to a min. and my protein powder is very low (2 grms.) so... Any Comments??

I think it's fine but others may dissagree.

there are other ways then just cooking, nuts and tuna come to mind. If you want mass to have to eat, there no getting around it!

That's along side of protein drinks.

About a year or so ago, there was a posting on here by a member (can't remember his name) but he was taking in 5-6 protein shakes per day in addition to 2 meals consisting of fish (canned tuna I think) and rice. He did this for about three months, made great gains in addition to lower bodyfat levels, but when he went to the doctor for bloodwork before starting his cycle, the blood work showed some major trouble going on with this type of diet. I can not remember what exactly was found, but he was very very borderline of developing severe health problems. Maybe some mod or vet will remember more of this and find the post. It was a very detailed and interesting read.

Make sure you are taking a good multivit daily to help round off what you may be missing.

tr yto get most of your protein from real foods if you can,the shakes are convienant but that's it.sometimes people expect too much from the shakes.i know it's a pain in the ass,but you can still eat pretty clean and eat loads of protein.........

Remember that your body can't absorb more than 50g of liquid protein at once. So don't eat like a steak with like 30-40 gms of protein, and then drink a shake of 50gms of protein. As long as you get 40-50gms of protein 5-6 times a day, you'll be ok. I drink 3 shakes a day, the other i get from food
