How many shakes a day?

[Rulk]

Who here drinks a lot of protein shakes? Details please: How many a day, how much protein, mixed in water, milk, juice, add any other supps, etc. and does it work for you?

For years I used to just eat and lift, then went to multiple shakes a day, then went back to food, and now i'm back to a mix of both. I feel like shit if I drink too many shakes nowadays, and I have to have real food. Most times I keep the protein shakes to usually around workouts and thats it.

I've heard some guys practically living off of shakes, but thats gotta suck imo, and I would feel like i'm depriving myself if I tried that again.

2 a day at most for me. Post workout i have 2 scoops in whole milk. Other than that I usually will have another shake in the middle of my day at work. I had been for a while there I was making my own high calorie mass building shake on a few days a week before I went to bed. Ingredients: whole milk, 1 or 2 scoops of whey, oats, greek yogurt or cottage cheese, peanut/almond butter, sometimes a few raw eggs, bcaa's, creatine. Been thinking about starting to throw a few of these back into the mix

2 a day is the most I drink. Mixed Just with Water. Sometimes if im in a rush I drink them instead of a meal. Always drink one after a workout. They work well for me, I definitely notice the difference in my body when I drink them.

I reach for them once and awhile. Sometimes I will have a random day where I have 2-3, but typically more typical is 0-1 a day. Been a bit different now since I have a new peptopro source.

I have two at the most per day. I've been using ISS Oh Yeah! protein for months now and I use two scoops in water.

Now that I am back home I train first thing in the morning so I take a 25g shake 1 hour pre workout. I take 50g post workout and sometimes another 25-50g prior to bed. I try to eat 5-6 whole food meals as well.

I only do 2 a day at most.

I'll have one (40g) first thing in the morning when I get up, and another right after my workout.

I use Optimum Nutrition, they make some good stuff.
