Do you count protein shakes as a meal?

No. Since you don't absorb most of them and they're about ninety percent water, then just chug them down.

>>35572686
Sounds like no one should buy powders then.

>>35572673
I count it as a snack

>>35572691
Correct

>>35572686

Nice broscience

>>35572673
If youre cutting they can be meal replacement. otherwise they should supplement your real meals

>Meal Supplement
>Supplement
Sigh...

>counting meals

how else would you mix it?

>>35573605
malk?

>>35573624
milk is very dense in calories and fat, even the half full/half fat/light milk or whatever they call it in your country

so its better to do with water, its the protein youre doing it for

I blend a scoop of oats and a banana into mine, so yes

>>35572706
A yummy snack?

>>35573634
That's the point...?

Unless you're cutting I guess.

fuck no a protein shake with water would only be about 200 calories...

>>35573814
no the point is you need protein and not fat

>>35573624
>mixing whey with milk
why not just drink milk then faggot? why use whey at all?

>>35573825
...except you do. And milk has tons of protein

>>35573836
no you dont need fat you dont take your whey with a hamburger too

>>35573844
if ur bulkin u need carbs n fat n protein der4 u shud mix wit milk do u understand

>>35573854
if you are bulking you need food in general that doesnt have anything to do with taking your protein shake

>>35573860
but if u r takin a proteen shake it makes sense if u mix wit milk 4 optimum gains

>protein powders
more underageb& detected

adults buy and prepare real food for their protein needs

>>35573869

Mix with water for aesthetics and with milk for strength. Everyone knows that

>>35572673

I am drinking one for breakfast right now.

1 scoop, 8 oz. Milk, 1 cup frozen fruit.
320 cals, 33 g protons. Great way to start the day

>>35572673
A meal is a fraction of your daily calories anon. I.e. a 200 cal protein shake would be a meal if you eat 1200 cals a day 6 meals a day, the /fa/ diet.

>not having adequate fats
>expecting to have optimal testosterone

Fats are vital idiot

>>35572673
Yes, because it has at least 300 calories.

There are two things: Snacks and meals.

Snacks are for women and weak-willed men.

I put eggs & oatmeal in my protein shakes. Maybe a banana or two. Some DHEA & oxycodone. I like to think it's a well balanced meal.

>whey with water for cuttan
>whey with milkan for bulkan

This is how the ancients did it

>>35572673
Counts as extra protein nothing else

>>35573230
What is cutting?

>>35575763
Whey with water is disgusting but sacrifices must be made during a cut.

>>35573634
