Longhorn, I have a question now. In a previous post you said to try to get your protein from real food. I agree with you. I am just wondering how much difference it makes to eat your protein (meal) instead of drink it (shake). Reason being, I eat most of my protein when I am at home, but I do travel somewhat frequently for work and usually rely on protein shakes for the majority of my protein while on the road. How bad is this?
