is a protein shake considered a meal?
was wondering, I see many people who have posted diets post a PWO shake, or a shake in general as a meal. Should I consider my shake as a meal?

In my world there is no "snack" or "breakfast, lunch, dinner". There are only meals.

Agreed, for me its 6-7 meals in a day. And a protein shake is considered a meal. Usually I take in 3-4 whole food meals and 2-3 shake meals.

A plain whey shake is not a meal. That protein will process so fast in your system. You need to add things to slow down gastric emptying. Fiber, complex carbs or fruit and some healthy fats. Then you have a meal
IE.
1 Scoop Whey
1/2 C. Skim Milk or FF Plain Yogurt
1/2 C. Oats or Small Fruit
Couple of fish oil caps or 1 T. natty PB.
Thats a meal

- fiber
- carbs (the level and type will depend on your goals/age/genetics etc)
- fats
- Healthy stuff (vitamins and minerals etc)~

I agree. P/C and P/F are just fine for meals. Originally Posted by assassin
