I did all liquid for years. I tried all food a few months back but found I was flat. My body was so used to have the constant supply of available amino acids from whey isolate that it couldn't digest meat fast enough to look full. So, I decided to try a compromise of half drinks, half food. This, I feel keeps me looking most full and able to grow. I prefer to have 4 meals consisting of 1/2Lb steak, 1.5 cups steamed white rice, and 1 oz mixed nuts, with 4-5 protein drinks. But, I don't usually want to prepare more than 2 to 3 meals as it is a pain in the butt. I added fats into my diet a few months ago for my knees and to improve my lipids. I am able to get very lean this way, as long as I do cardio after every weight training session.
An all protein drink diet would cause me to flatten out after several days and I used to gorge on junk for one meal to restore balance. On this new improved diet I can go long periods of time with no cheat food. I haven't had a cheat meal in 11 days and feel great.
What amount of protein go your drinks consist of? Do you use milk in them?
