I realized a long time ago that considering I need to eat 5 or 6 meals per day to get all my muscle building nutrition, I needed to replace some meals with supplement shakes.
These shakes include everything that you would get in an optimal bodybuilders meal, but just in an easy to make drink.
It will be mostly protein as that's the most important ingredient for gaining muscle, but it will also have some other good nutrition in it too.
Try to limit the amount of meals that you replace to a maximum of 2. If you attempt to replace all of your meals your bodies metabolism can crash because whilst these smoothies contain most of what you need - they don't include everything!
What I suggest you do, is use these shakes to replace your meals before and after going to the gym. Oftentimes after you've finished your workout it takes you time to get home and make something to eat. But when you've got a high protein drink with you, you can just drink that in it's place.
For the best results, I recommend that you get yourself a supplement shaker.
You can use it to also keep your drink in so that all day you can be drinking and feeding your body with nutrition.
I don't advise you get too into consuming lots of supplements whilst bodybuilding. It's fair enough to want to get a bit more protein and replace a few meals, but you should take breaks every so often to check that your bodies functions aren't depending on something in one of the products.
And a great little bonus of taking a break from consuming supplements, I often have some massive gains once I go back on them again. As if the break had helped me start gaining rapidly again!
