My doctor says that I shouldn't count the calories in protein shakes

because the body takes the pre-digested proteins and tosses the rest away. He is wanting me to increase my proteins to 4 drinks a day. After doing this I have gained 2 lbs. Can someone reassure me that my doctor is right, that these calories "don't really count".
