I'm curious. I ordered trutein 2 days ago and I'm asking if it's possible to be able to survive on just this? I'm thinking about making trutein 90% of my diet until I can get my money in order. What do you guys think? (I'm cutting by the way)

Protein powder generally lacks dietary fat, some micronutrients and fiber. Assuming you got those from other sources yes you could get by but it wouldnt be very satiating...
Eggs, milk, can tuna, beans and lentils are cheap sources of protein that would be a better atlernative to 90% powder diet.http://kickingthehodge.blogspot.com

I love food but I was thinking about doing this temporarily up until I'm back on my feet as far as finances go. I understand I can buy cheap real food but in curious if it's possible to still lose body fat consuming just protein shakes. Im also in the gym 3-4 times a week

Did a vegie shake cleanse for a week and wanted to kill people that were eating real food around me the whole time. You would still need FATS while doingOriginally Posted by BlackMegatron

I was thinking of also buying a jar of natty pb for the fats and I also have a multi. I don't even have a job so money is extra tight right now.

It's also like $1 a serving. Talking probably 15 servings a day to hit your calories. You can eat real food for cheaper. More calories from 2 eggs for like $0.20 than a serving of Trutien and you get protein and fat.

technically you could do it but in reality it's not really a good idea.

Oats are under $8 for a 10lb box at Costco.

I'd be so hungry, I'd kill myself.

You could have saved money and bought chicken, tuna, peanut butter, and OATS instead of overpriced whey.
There is always someone less fortunate, with real hunger, with real adversity, who made something of themselves. What is your excuse?

Mix with peanut or better yet almond butter, milk and oats and you will be fine.
