PWO included as 1 of 6 meals on workout day

[mitch911]

on workout days are pwo shakes included as 1 of the 6 meals per day or should i eat another meal so its 6 meals of actual food and the 1 pwo shake ontop of that

It depends on what plan you are following bro, and how many meals you have in total over the course of the day. Some people eat 4 times per day, some eat 8, so it varies on how many meals and if they consider it a "meal" or not.

Best bet, count it as a meal. I eat 300g of protein/day/7days/week. Whether or not i have a pwo doesnt detract from the fact that i need to get 300g. Its basically the same with my carbs, due to the fact that im bulking, although the type of carbohydrate is obviously different. I eat 7 meals a day. 5 days of the week i'll have a pwo shake, the other two days i replace the pwo with a whole food meal.

agreed....anything with calories, carbs, protein, and fat should be counted as a meal.
