How much of my daily protein come from shakes.

How much of my daily protein can come from protein shakes. During the school I can't afford a lot of protein from meat during school. Protein shakes is the cheapest source that I can afford during that time of year. I know they absorbe quickly. But will 0.9 grams/lbs from protein shakes a day be okay to keep my gains?

During school its 15-16 hour days nonstop.

Nah man, unless you're a female gymnist, that's likely over 150g per day from shakes. If you have to have 3, so be it, but have another 3-4 meat meals. Don't tell me you can't afford canned tuna and eggs.

eating protien shakes it better then not eating protein at all. I feel you man i had to take a good 4 months off lifting and everything trying to get ready for my GRE applying to school studying for exams and school itself. Just prioritize. I would not sweat it so much. On the days you are not at school eat whole foods ya know try to make up for it. Or have 11 egg white in the morning lol before you go to class.
