  I love how nutrition advice has come full circle in the past 30 years and now it's ok to do a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch and a sensible dinner again.

  bottom line for me is, if I'm about to miss my calorie and/or protein numbers for the day, the right shake will always save me last minute

  The reason you need protein shakes is because your favourite influencer isn't able to sell you chicken and eggs via an affiliate program.

  I used to be super skinny, and didn’t have enough appetite to eat more whole foods to increase my weight. I switched to shakes and drank my calories for like 6 months. I gained around 15 kg and now i switched back to whole foods and i am able to eat normal food to sustain my current weight, which i am happy with<br><br><br>Edit - drank* - sorry english is not my 1st language<br>Edit n2 - yes i am still skinny. 75 kg 185cm<br>but i am happy with this weight. i used to be under 60 kg few years ago.

  I almost died when he said that the greens powders taste like lawn mulch because I couldn&apos;t tell what it tastes like until he mentioned it 😂

  I have to do shakes to get protein in. I just down them. &nbsp;My appetite isn&apos;t there, and it&apos;s just hard to get whole food protein down. Drinking one and getting an easy 25 grams is wonderful.<br><br>*Edit to add, since many feel the need to put people down in the comments or try to be some superior entity that knows everything. I am a woman. Most are assuming that I am a man and have to make comments like oh you must be so big with protein shakes or he thinks this is awesome, shakes aren&apos;t the best etc. It IS fucking awesome TO HAVE A SHAKE AS AN OPTION FOR SUPPLEMENTATION! It isn&apos;t that I don&apos;t EVER eat, but many days, I have to supplement a shake or 2 depending. Everyone with their critique on if people worked out harder or whatever else, are just ridiculous. It has nothing to do with that. Some people just don&apos;t have an appetite. Some people are on medications that inhibit an appetite, or many other different things can cause appetite issues. I have muscle, I am in TFR, if you want to see, I will upload the back day I just had! I have muscle, I am defined, protein shakes have not made it to where I can&apos;t build muscle. Others saying it isn&apos;t hard to get protein in. Yeah, it isn&apos;t hard when you are hungry. Some days, I eat a shit ton of meat, other days, I am nauseated with no appetite. Some days, I can eat eggs easily and many days, I can eat Greek yogurt, but not every single day can I get the amt of protein needed. There are days where that 25g shake or 50g is helpful when nauseated and unable to eat. Even if I was a man, why make comments like oh you must be so big or talk about appearance? Putting another man down for what? Let&apos;s see your 250lb muscle packed body! Many in the comments have the same problem that I have and have to supplement, why put them down? Again, in TFR? Let me know! I am 5&apos;1, 105lbs, today I was 104lbs, but still have muscle, not scrawny, but even if I was, if I can&apos;t eat whole food protein, then it is what it is, no need to put people down! I have worked with RP coaches, I have completed the Menno Henselmans PT course, I have worked J. Shreve, I am not an idiot on this stuff, BUT, I always proceeed as if I am a complete beginner, because I am not an expert, as many in the comments who put people down seem to be. I know there will be comments making fun of me, or something of that nature, so I acknowledge you beforehand. Thank you for such kind words🥰
