Many fad diets urge you to purchase pre-packaged supplements, meals, or shakes when you decide to buy in. Oh, isn't that nice of them? They've already done the work for me! you may think.

Except then you look at the prices of these pills and potions and you begin to wonder, wait a second ... is this one of those nutrition scams?

Why should I drink protein shakes if I want to lose weight in the first place?

Well, you don't have to. But protein shakes are a great way to consume your recommended 30 grams of protein per meal in order to achieve satisfaction (how full you feel during a meal) and satiety (how long you feel full after a meal)—not to mention reap the muscle-building effects of the nutrient. And protein shakes are also a great way to sneak in fiber (another nutrient that aids satisfaction and satiety), healthy fats, and disease-fighting antioxidants.

When you're hungry.

bernardbodo

That might sound too obvious, but here's the thing about hunger: If you're consuming at least 30 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber in a sitting, you likely won't feel hungry again until your next mealtime. One exception is if you've just undertaken a massive workout, but even then you could have a shake to replenish as long as that shake is built in a healthful way. You may be wondering about this thing called a "nutrient window," which was a theory within the nutrition community. It stated that if you didn't consume the necessary protein to build muscle and lose weight within a 30 to 60 minute window before or after a workout, your body wouldn't use that protein. New science shows that's just not true anymore. As long as you're consuming your daily requirements for protein over the course of the day, you're fine. And that includes through protein shakes.
