is it okay to have 3protein shakes per day?!

I thought you shouldn't have more then 2 for some reason...

That's why I said at the bottom with one of the shakes, you can sub for whole protein (chicken, fish, egg whites---cottage cheese even).

Personally, I don't like 3 shakes a day as they aren't that filling and I can find them bloating. Plus if you use one with artificial sweetners etc, I don't think its good to have a lot of that in a day.

I had stomach problems with 4 shakes a day but I really like them, so I spent the extra money to get one with digestive enzymes in it and I also take a pro/prebiotic.
