Protein shakes

[xderekx]

i usually alternate meal, shake, meal, shake, etc...

*example

meal 1:
8 eggs (2 yolk) 1 cup of oatmeal

meal 2:
50g whey shake (2 tbsp natty pb)

meal 3:
2 grilled chicken breasts 1 sweet potato

meal 4:
50g whey shake (2 tbsp natty pb)

and so on....

depends on your goals, the phytonutrients are lacking in shakes as you mentioned, but shakes are also liquid and therefore have a lower thermodynamic value than whole foods

Does having a lower thermodynamic value make it a good or a bad thing? judging from the structure of ur statement, im thinking its a good thing...but just to make sure...

I guess my take home message though is that as long as im getting enough from food sources, its ok for me to keep taking protein shakes to give me the added amount i need. there is also an issue of gas, and digestional discomfort, which i must admit i suffer from, so i should probably think about taking one shake out of the equation.

I guess my main worry was if my copious amount of shake consumption was harmful to my body? i guess its just the digestional issue...

I dont know how else to put it other than that is a completely false statement. Also, I think most guys on this board hit 160 grams of protein before noon.

agreed as always^^^

whether it's a good or bad thing depends on goals, thermodynamic value is how much energy it takes the body to digest the food the the amount of heat released during digestion, whole food takes more energy to digest and produces more heat, thus, less calories from whole food can be stored as fat and the metabolism is boosted more
