that is a lot of protein for your body to tolerate. maybe you can get away with it. but I would guess either you would get really bad gas, or you would be going to the bathroom every couple hours.

Protein shakes have no nutrients in them and don't think taking a multivitamin will cure that problem. Your body does not efficiently absorb nutrients from a pill, unfortunately. You are putting yourself at risk for malnutrition and other related illnesses by not getting nutrients from food.

You really don't need to eat 6 times a day if you don't have the time for it, eat three good sized high quality meals, supplement with one shake pre workout and one shake PWO.
I get 100g of protein per day from my shakes and 400g from food, if i were to decrease protein intake (not that i would, unless i was forced to) the first thing to go would be one of the shakes.

hahahaha this post make me kind of laugh myself
I few months back when I strated goign to the gym seriously and decided to gain size, I had the same question cause I "thought" i didn't have enough time for 6 meals and mrps' have a so many carbs and proteins so on.
I just found time now, I prepare my foods the night before and take them with me to school or work, sure sometimes is kind of embarassing to open your tuperware with all that food in front of your colleagues but, who cares just try to hide kinda.
I still drink the shakes though but, as a supplement because that's what they are. and I have them on strategic times, such as, right after workting out,when i wake up mixed with some solid foods and when i'm really on a hurry and have no time.
I can relate with some people here: after i upped my protein intake from solid foods and the shake, i started going to the bathroom around 2-3 times a day and i now have gases like no other.
but, i think that kind of varries between users, so you may want to try it out and see how it works for you.

follow-up
Hi Phillipinoc...just wondering how you are doing now...I want to drop 40lbs of cubbyness and tone up...was considering a 2 month protein shake diet to get bikini ready
how many shakes did you drink a day? everytime you were hungry? did you take anything with it? I was thinking a pill for dietary supplement and multivitamin.
thanks
Jennifer
