What % of your protein is supplemented through shakes?

[Get_Swole]

I have to be honest lately about 45 to 50% of my protein is coming through shakes i just havent had time to eat enough. Ive been still gaining in strength etc so im not too worried about it but i would like to get some more solid meals in soon. What % do you supplement or how many shakes do you have a day?

 

[irish2003]

i definately get more food in my system than shakes, but actual grams of protein is about 50% food, 50% shakes

It depends on the day and my work schedule. Anywhere from 25-50%...



And not to hijack your thread, has anyone gone 100% shakes and bars for any period of time?

2 scoops in the morning and 2 scoops at night-Thats 120 grams of protein. I shoot for 300 grams of protein daily. But i cant always reach that while trying to eat clean.

precontest - none, I only like food

is that cause shakes make you a little bloated??

 

[saturn1]

30% normally 70% to shred

 

[jtunderdog]

About a third for me. I will jack that up to 50 on cycle.

I get 30% from shakes while bulking, but I also eat 400 or so grams a day. That's what my body needs. I cut shakes out 4 weeks out from contest b/c of the bloating. Just fish and chicken and egg whites for protein. Try getting 350 a day from just that!! I eat all day and all night!!

used the get maybe 30% thru shakes or bars. maybe less. now its about 50%.

0% you could count on one hand how many shakes I've had in the past year-
just can't stomach them anymore
need to reteach myself to consume them-especially when ON

Currently 1/3 of all my protein comes from shakes. I'd like to see what happens if I get the majority of my protein from a high quality protein powder. I wonder if there would be a really big difference.

better off doing what your doing-get a much from real food as possible

heard a lot of people say protein shakes kill the apetite for real food
