Protein question

If I am looking to achieve a daily protein intake of around 250g, does anyone see a problem with getting maybe 100g of that from solid food, and the other 150g from liquid protein?

I personally do not see a problem with it, but I am curious as to what others think. to me, I see no difference between a high quality whey protein drink and a piece of chicken or beef, in fact, I see it as better than those because the whey has less cholesterol.

Dietary cholesterol has so little impact on your own blood lipids it's not even worth considering.

That being said, if you find this way of eating comfortable you're fine. Personally, I have NO TROUBLE getting in 220+ grams of protein daily from solid food and I'm 140 lbs soaking wet (I checked this morning, I was soaking wet and I weighed 140 onna NOSE baby!).

Whey IS cheap though. Cheaper than steak for sure.

That's kinda hot....ooops, wrong answer

Anyway, yeah, that's part of my reasoning since the price of whey is cheap, I mean 50g of whey is like what $.50 whereas 50g from steak is like $8? So I was thinking 3 solid food meals and 3 or 4 liquid meals to make up my daily intake.

Only other thing to consider is the rest of your bodies nutritional needs. You can get some extra nutirents/benefits from "real" foods, while most whey is limited outside of amino acids.

True that. ^

Likely not a problem on a bulk (I don't know if the op is bulking or cutting, just saying) - all that extra food - but still worth mentioning.

I'm not bulking nor cutting nor maintaining, lol, I am just counting protein grams per day basically, so yeah, I think whatever I may be missing from a piece of chicken from one meal, I am making up from another meal.

Buy in bulk dude. It's still more expensive, but 50g protein in steak costs me like 2 bucks.
