My sister's trying to get me to do protein shakes, but I generally don't believe in using supplements.
Do you drink protein shakes, /fit/? Is there any real benefit to them?
i use creatine so i'm only really half natty now, it's a slippery slope
Give her the protein shake if you catch my drift

all of my brothers and a few of my friends drink shakes. personally i don't see the point if you get enough protein in your diet
>>36260410
how can you not know about protein shakes, it literally gives 10% gains per day per shake, which is why we drink at least 3 shakes a day, trying to go for 5, what you shouldnt do though is mix carbs with protein cause that can spike the protein into the blood, which is like injecting oil into your veins which can cause cancer
>convenience
>price
>low cal
If you struggle with any of these points, get whey, otherwise there's no real benefit over food

It can help you get enough protein into your diet if you are lackng
They make decent meal replacements if you're trying to cut

I drink them simply because I'm busy and sometimes it's easier than making a meal. I meal prep as well but I like to get my prepped meals to last as long as I can before making another batch.

It's food. It's literally just fucking food. Why do you not understand?

You're fucking retarded please be troll because if not I don't know how you don't get laughed at for being stupid every day of your life. (You probably do)
> I generally don't believe in using supplements.
Protein shakes aren't really supplements anyways. They are just food and that's how you should treat them.

It's just protein. Whether you get it from chicken, fish, lentils or whey powder doesn't matter a lot.
It's just "food", as far as your body is concerned. They aren't magical. They won't do anything for you that normal food won't. They are just an easy/cheap way to hit your protein macros, nothing more.
>doesn't believe in using supplements
>like food
I wish I could photosynthesize.

I don't even really drink it because of the protein, but for the extra cals on my shake to gain weight
I drink protein shakes. As a hungry skellington even when I stuff myself with normal food until I am sick I end up around 1700kcals. Gotta eat big to get big CMON.
