My argument in favor of protein shakes
Interesting....
I have protein powder in my SF hot chocolate almost every morning (when the weather gets really hot, I do a nectar "shake" or drink half a bottle of Cytomax protein water instead), but I don't notice ANY difference in how much I eat the rest of the day if I do NOT have it. I still eat the same snack at 10am, for example, regardless of whether or not I had a protein hot chocolate (30g of protein) or Greek yogurt (only 15g of protein) for breakfast.
I think that part of the difference, perhaps, is that I do not get "grumbly tummy" hungry... I simply get low blood sugar symptoms if I go too long without food, so I eat more by the clock than by hunger. Still, though, if I don't have my breakfast until 7:30-8am, I am no more full or less able/likely to eat all of my snack 2 hours later if I have the protein powder.
