Thought i would post this here as i havent had any response in the diet section.


Protein/Carb shakes Questions ..
Hey guys and gals,

just wanting some input with the use of Protein&Carb shakes with meals to boost intake of essential protein and complex carbs when bulking.

my current diet is planned out to have 5 of these shakes a day, which ALONE will give me more then enough carbs and protein i need to grow with a good routine.

each of my shakes i take contain:

Protein = 74.1
Carb = 74.3

i know that your body can only intake a certain amount of protein and the rest is just wasted as it wont do anything, But its easier for me to have shakes with this amount of protein

im just wondering if i can drop some of the Foods (past/brown rice) and will still gain properly with these additional shakes?

i know many people think its better to get the protein and carbs you need from foods more then shakes as the other nutritional content, BUT shakes come with most of the stuff you get in food anyway?

Basically im wondering if anyone has been able to gain good weight with say 2-3 meals a day of just protein&Carb shakes instead of food meals? (3 meals out of 6 are shakes, other 3 are high carb/protein)

thanks, and after reading it back im a little confused so if you dont understand i will try to ask it differently lol
