    you should really make up an eating schedule so you can see about how many calories you're eating each day and to make sure there are no big gaps in eating during the day. the main thing you want is to keep amino acids in your blood stream all day long, since most shakes are digested faster than real food you wouldnt want to have just a protein shake as a meal. but there is nothing wrong with adding a shake to your meals as long as you have another source of protein with it and of course some carbs. right before, during, and right after your workout is the main time when you want fast acting carbs and protein.

    I say if it works well for him then why change it ? I know the majority of opinion (including mine) is to eat more whole foods than shakes, but if he is gainin off his current schedule I wouldnt see a need to change it unless the gains stopped

    2 on training days 1 on non-training. I drink 1 every day in the middle on the night composed of EFA's and soy, micellar casein, cassienates and egg. After workout I also take in some whey, hydolyzed casien and egg white.

    Drinking them INSTEAD of whole food is something I would only if it mean not eating which would only happen if I got in a car accident or something similar.

    doesn't sound like you have a set diet. If your serious about training a set diet should be your No.1 priority.

    Also, do you even know how many calories you are taking in per day? Do you know what your bodies maintenace caloric intake is?

    These are things you need to play around with not just EATING NON STOP or whatever you say you do. Plus I can almost guarantee you arent putting quality foods in your body if you are eating out for all your meals at the place you work.
