Are protein shakes really necessary? I eat 2lb of chicken breast

Use cockroaches as your protein source

They're supplementary nutrition. If you manage to cover you protein intake by other means then all great for you. They come the most handy when planning having a calorie deficit for a while.

They're a meme for vegan twinks, you get the same macros from lean chicken breast.

If you eat well you dont need this shit. Fitness supplements are scamming insecure young men into wasting their money for things they dont need. Consumption to fight the misery. Its pathetic

Protein shakes aren't necessary, but they prevent me from the suicide I'd be tempted to commit if this was my diet every day.

Yeah, not everyone likes to do that though. That's why protein shakes exist. To supplement protein deficiency when trying to build muscle.

I don't understand your obsession with chicken breast

I currently use them because its impossible to hit the macros I want without them. I cant buy bulk meat in the country I live.

Are protein shakes necessary if I'm in a 1000 calorie deficit to lose weight? I was 250 pounds 3 weeks ago, now I'm at 230. Been running 5 miles everyday and lifting every other day. I dont get enough protein from the eggs and beans I eat everyday.

1000 deficit is not healthy. Try 500.
