[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zero snacks, tons of water, reduce (don’t eliminate carbs). Move your body, a lot. Work up to 20,000 steps/day. Cool it with the protein, you’re not working out enough to justify. GL![/quote]

Yeah, protein drinks and bars are for hard exercisers. Otherwise they are total calorie bombs, and alone probably explain why you've put on weight so quickly.[/quote]

What are you talking about? Protein shakes are not calorie bombs and aren’t just for hard exercisers. Your typical fairlife or premier protein bottle has 150 calories and 30g of protein. 1 or 2g of carbs. Great way for someone trying to lose weight to get in protein efficiently.[/quote]

Yes, similar to the nutrition/macros of chicken breast so in no way a “calorie bomb.” Is the chicken probably healthier because it’s not processed? Yes, but one can only eat so much chicken or other lean meat and there’s nothing wrong with a protein shake instead of you like the taste and convenience.  [/quote]

In a pinch, it's okay but the takeaway from this is that [b]quality matters[/b]. Sure a protein shake or bar has a lot of "protein" but the rest of it is crap in a wrapper. it's a candy bar, or high calorie drink. When you focus on the actual quality of what you're putting into your body, you will feel better and will be more satiated.  Your blood sugar will stabilize, and your cravings will disappear.  This is coming from someone who used eat protein bars for breakfast and lunch...worked out...and couldn't seem to make progress.  I decided to toss those out and eat real food, not Franken-Food.  I saw the difference pretty quickly. Difference in my body, my mood, my sleep, and my appetite.

That’s cool. I’ve lost 45 pounds and I drink a Fairlife protein shake every single day. [/quote]

Talk about taking things out of context  :roll:  Did you read my entire post or just focus on one line? I didn't say don't have a protein shake. I said QUALITY MATTERS. So if you eat a nutrient rich diet, go for it. If you eat a crap diet, and all you drink is protein shakes and eat bars...your body will suffer.  [/quote]

…nobody is suggesting anybody drink only protein shakes and bars?[/quote]
