Weight Loss for Everyone: Can protein powder be used as meal replacements?

Tuesday, March 30, 2021

Can protein powder be used as meal replacements?

My wife has recently lost 20lbs. She is trying to lose around 10 more lbs. because she is short (5’3) and at the low end of normal for her weight now, she is having a lot of difficulty losing that last little bit.

Lately, she’s been intermittent fasting, and then during her eating time, she will have a protein shake made with quest protein powder and almond milk. Sometimes she will have a piece of fruit or hard boiled egg or something with it.

I tried to tell her that protein powder is not the same as a meal replacement shake, and she’s going to end up gaining weight by having protein shakes every night. She doesn’t really lift too often and most of her exercise is cardio.

She’s going to end up bulking up. When I told her this she got upset and said protein shakes and meal replacement shakes are basically the same.

I disagree and am just trying to help her. Who is right here?
