....depends on where the cals come from

 

[biggerdave]

the calories are coming from fat carbs and protien!!

im sorry im not sure i understand you, let me break down what i get a little more.
meal 1- serving n-large 2 (this is normally @ 5am and i cant handle whole foods this early) 50g prot/600 cals.

meal 2 whole food meal (generally eggs and sausages etc) consisting 30+ g prot/500+ cals. +1 serving whey, 20g prot/120 cals.

meal 3 as meal 2 but generally chicken and bacon sub etc 30+g prot/500+ cals. + 1 serving whey, 20g prot/120 cals.

meal 4(post workout) 1 serving n-large 2, 50g prot/600 cals

meal 5(1 hr later) evening meal, consisting steak/chick/tuna and pasta/rice/potatoes etc. 35+g prot/500+ cals. + 1 serving whey, 20g prot/ 120 cals.

What I meant was food vs. shakes.....Personally I would drop a shake and eat another meal consisting of food......

 

[biggerdave]

shameless bump for more views!

I would eat more food and drop all the shakes except for 1 of them. You will get much better results from food.
