Percentage of daily protein from shakes?

The only people who use more than one shake PWO (except for those who throw in a little casein before bed) are either cheap, lazy, or broke. The only time you should be consuming a lot of shakes is if you cannot afford real food. So to answer your question Vtach, yes its better to have a whey shake over nothing at all. "I don't have time to cook all my meals" is bullshit. Buy a Foreman grill and do your shopping in bulk. I bounce 5 nights a week, am a full time student at a university, and have an immaculate diet. If anyone knows how important time is, it's me.

Guess I must be cheap, lazy, *And* broke.

But then again, I run multiple businesses full-time... I work 20 hours per day, and I still manage to stay heavily-muscled and lean. Must be 'genetics' right?

Nearly half of my protein consumption comes from shakes.

ding, ding, ding.

BTW, I can assure you I am not cheap, lazy or broke either. The anti-shake thing is one of the biggest brotelligence myths there is.

Yep.

And it seems to have snuck back into the top of this section's foodchain once again.

To me the problem is not too many shakes it's too little real food. I am by no means advocating we stop eating real food and drink all of our calories. I still get around 200grams of protein from lean meat sources a day, my vegetable intake is around 2lbs per day and nearly all of my fats are in the form of EFA's. In other words, my diet is not lacking in real food meals or fibrous foods. Whether I get my next 150-175 grams of protein from meat or from whey protein has shown me zero difference in my diet. My current protein intake is as follows, I am not going to write in the carbs as they change daily.

6:00am-2 whole omega 3 eggs, 4 egg whites, 2 pieces lean canadian bacon, 8-10oz spinach 1 scoop of whey in my oatmeal.

8:30am-50 grams whey protein

10:45am- 8 ounces white fish, 8-10oz spinach

1:00pm- 8 ounces white fish 8-10oz spinach

3:30pm- 50 grams whey protein

6:00pm-PWO-4 ounces white fish, one scoop whey

7:30pm-2 whole omega 3 eggs, 4 egg whites, 2 pieces lean canadian bacon 8-10oz spinach.

Nice.
