I have read all the info on this board and probably the entire internet on Real Food vs. Shakes or Powders. I guess I would agree that real food has many more benefits and the only real benefit of a shake is convenience. I have a little different question than has been asked on this board (and several others, and all over the internet and in every gym) over and over again. Actually I have three questions the other two are related but not as in depth or as frequently discussed. These questions are in relation to bulking a bulking cycle only.
1) If a shake is made from all real food products and has all the correct macro's that one needs for that meal, is it any different from eating actual food? For example a shake that includes; milk, egg whites (pasteurized), natural peanut butter, flax oil, raw oats (powdered in a food processor) fruit(raw). No protein powder except pwo and maybe one other during the day.
2) Would it be OK to get 60 percent, or more, of ones calories from these shakes per day.
3) Is it Ok for one to get over half his/her protein from milk/eggs/peanut butter and the rest from meat and two whey powder shakes?
