nice progress in your avatar! how long did that take?

4 shakes a day is more than id consume on workout days, but i prefer food over shakes

it depends on your goals, but the shakes themselves look good

mixing free amino acids like tyrosine into your whey shake is a waste of money. take tyrosine separated from whey at least by 15 min.

I prefer food as well, but the shakes are more convenient and fit my schedule better.

I suspected this may be true. I'll try both ways to see if I feel anything different. I had the tyrosine mixed with the protein today and still felt it kick in. But I see how it would probably work better by itself, 15 min before the shake.

After the first week of this, I've decided to take the alpha lipoic acid and chromium twice daily, morning and night. The ALA didn't mix well with the shake. Already noticing greater pumps, bodyweight is up a few pounds(bf% measuring the same on Omron hand-held machine), feeling stronger, poundage is up. So far so good. I will post before and after stats after 4 weeks.
