TweetI do a mix of both. I don't like just whey shakes u have to have some carbs and fats just like a meal so I try to have a mrp or mix my whey with milk. I grow bigger if I get more whole foods in but sometimes I have to have three maby four shakes a day because of work.

TweetI got shredded one time in the 90s drinking 8 packs a Met-rx a day and some broccoli. That was all I ate for about 3 months LOL
Not saying that is right to do, but I did do it

TweetPiana says to use egg whites in a weight gain shake. Why not the whole egg? If youre trying to gain weight, eat the whole damn egg!

I agree with that for cutting u can get ripped that way no problem. But for bulking whole foods.

TweetI think it just depends where you are and what you need at the time. I cant bring an Egg sandwich with me everywhere I go and the local kwik stop has shit to eat so, I have a shake to meet my needs. I would always pick food over a shake If it could provide the macros I need. The other thing is sometimes when I'm bulking its just easier on me to have a shake than pound down a huge meal. Shakes have their place.

He always sticks his foot in his mouth. I want my skin as thin as I can get it for a comp

TweetHahaha I could never eat what I am supposed to without a shake although may be smarter to ad some really foods to the sake like rich says oatmeal has to better in the morning g than straight dextrose and protein.... I load email with pb and olive oil but man its hard to hammer the fats

Lol it must be the mercury levels in the fish acts as diruretic

Tweethere is my take: foods are way way more important than shakes across the board. your body has to work to process those foods so it will enhance cal burning for one and for 2- who actually likes being hungry immediately after having a shake when they dont get anything else for 2 and a half 3 hours. i honestly believe and i have been told by some pretty big successful dudes that whole foods are number 1 for both. now for shakes they have a time and place. you can have a shake if you dont have time to have a full meal(you should be able to house a full meal in 10 mins or less) and or work doesnt permit you to have food. the middle of the night is another good time to sneak one in for extra protein and cals. it is more of a personal pref which option you take but i want the most out of what my body will give so i opt for whole foods 99% of the time

TweetGood opinions about this , and I think this won't be the last time we see a post like this .
I used to be ALL into shakes until my REAL appetite kicked in , then food it was !!!
I rather eat food than have a shake but like most of u said , sometimes there really is no time for food and a shake will do !!!
I try to have a weight gain shake sometime during mid day and post workout with a meal .
I feel as if I just have a post shake it doesn't fill me up but food and a shake does it for me .
And I'm always wakin up throughout the nite so if I can't have my Oreos, a bowl of cereal, a sandwich, something food wise , then a shake it is !!!
