Re: Do protein shakes work?
Do they work for what? Can you be more specific?

Re: Do protein shakes work?
If you mean do they provide protein, yes...other then that I am not sure what information you would like.

Re: Do protein shakes work? Updated.
I should have clarified better.
Do you feel they can be a sufficient source as a meal replacement? I read you both talk about the importance of macronutrients and was wondering if protein shakes serve a good purpose.
I have been using Muscle Milk light 100 calories as a meal replacement.

I don't even look at calories. It all depends on the macros of the shake. For instance, my protein shakes have 24 grams protein, 3g carbs, 1.5 fat. This wouldn't be a full meal for me. As far as protein, yes it would suffice, but I would add some fruit and perhaps a bit of PB to make it more of a meal replacement. It also depends when you are having this meal. If it was pre workout or in the morning, I would throw a scoop of protein some oats to make that more of a full balanced meal. If this was a "meal" before bed, I would just stick with the shake. Make sense?

I love my shakes and they help to keep me full. But I could never use one as a meal replacement. There just isn't enough to keep me satisfied as long as a "meal" should. I use it as a post-workout snack.

Ditto. I grab one after a workout and I end up having a light dinner.
