Why is food protein better than shake protein?

God gave us teeth for a reason. Use them.

I'm an atheist but i can retort i guess.

If he also gave you a brain and you used it to engineer a meal replacement, why not use it?

Anyways I was not wanting to drink shakes all day, was just kinda curious. I like real food WAY better, but sometimes I don't have the time (or the money) to make a good meal instead.

LOL Touche' And yah, I get what you're saying. In your case and the way you do use shakes, there's nothing wrong with it. We've seen many extreme cases on here lately though that people are literally eating one chicken breast a day and getting every other gram of protein from shakes.

But I think the others gave very good answers and I also think that there's nothing wrong with using protein supplements the way you have been.
