But wont x4 35g protein shakes make up a bit for eating through-out the day if you find it hard to eat alot?
I did that for a while b/c I was having trouble eating enough, but I sucked it up and deal with feeling bloated all day. I think extra shakes are better than not eating at all, but whole foods will almost always have more benefits than
supplements alone.
I would suggest to make your weight gainer type shake if you're having trouble eating enough calories. You can throw in all sorts of variations to make your shake a little more nutritious and packed full of calories: skim milk, oats, milled flax seed, natty peanut butter, fruits, egg whites/beaters, yogurt, honey etc...I've even seen guys add olive oil.
