Is this a bad way to eat?

Is it bad to have two protein shakes in one day? I’m on a very calorie restriction diet and I’m starving right now but nothing that I have sounds good but I’m tempted to drink another protein shake just to curb my hunger. It’s the premier protein brand. One shake has 160 calories and 30g of protein

I think premier protein drinks have a warning to drink only one a day

it has a bunch of other junk in it at high values

This is what it says. Doesn’t say to not drink two though but maybe that’s what’s implied

It also says to not use for weight reduction but I’m doing that. I eat other things

eh you could probably drink a couple of those every once in a while

the one i was talking about was a different product

Oh okay good, I mean this does have a lot of ingredients but nothing to make me too concerned not to consume them. They’re a good “treat” to help me not be so hungry

A better choice would be egg whites and quinoa with some veggies

I think those “ensure” drinks you need to limit those are high in fat and sugar and carbs and pretty low in protein

How about fish?

From what I can see it is low carb. It shouldn’t stimulate your hunger. It should be ok to drink two a day

Well I say drink the shake but prep yourself for future times when like today you’ve simply got to eat
