    We all know whole foods are obviously better.... But for the on the go i don't think its bad. I don't count mine as a meal though..

    I personally only do it cause its a good quick fix as I'm walking out of the door of work to go to the gym. As well as have another with my dinner meal to give my body the extra protein after a hard workout.

    As I stated above, Protein shakes are fine if your strapped for time, but they will never replace real food.
