How does this look for a decient meal replacment shake?

[Gunsmith]

A close friend of mine has a hard time getting time to eat during work so he tries to rely on shakes but he is currently trying to gain size (hard for him he is very high metabolism)

he has time to eat 3 good meals breakfast , lunch and dinner but want to add in some calories to help gain some size , his meals are big and says that he thinks hes wasting alot of the protein in them cause he doesn't think his body can absorb it all (90-120g , he is 180lbs very lean) and thinks this because of his bathroom visits , so he wants to add in a couple shakes but wants them to be quality calories.

I mixed up two today for him and they tasted great but not 100% sure its a good suitable meal replacment.

12oz raw goat milk +6oz water , 2 scoops Team Skip protein from TP (Chocolate peanutbutter cup) , one big table spoon almond butter and 1 cup instant oats.

total protein - 74g

total carbs -63g
sugar - 11g

total fat - 25g
sat fat -12g

Total , cals are 773 per shake/ he drank one whole shake and diden't seem to make him sick at all

his basic meals are about the same macro breakdown maybe , a little higher fat from beef and a little less carbs from brown rice

just wondering what anybody though about this as far as being a suitable meal replacment ? it taste pretty damn good i was impressed , and though it would be really thick and hard to get down but if you drink it quick before the oats soak up to much water its not bad at all

thats a lot of grams of protein...what do u guys agree on as far as the body's maximum absorption of protein per meal. ive heard ranges of anywhere between 30-50+

I don't think those sound bad at all, pretty good actually. I would even try lowering the amount of protein powder though, and replacing it with cottage cheese/yogurt/raw eggs. I am currently working a job that really does not allow any break other than lunch (at most 2 or 3 min) so I have been having two of these shakes per day and it is working pretty well for me:

1 cup raw milk
4 raw free range fertile eggs
1 cup regular cottage cheese
1 tbsp natural pb
1/2 cup oats (I soak these overnight in raw whey (skimmed off raw milk))
1 scoop chocolate isolate
little bit of stevia

I may forgo the oats as I did the other day and the shake seemed to digest a little better. I prefer low carbs and higher fat anyways.

Looks very good. I'd just add about 500-1000 mg's HCl and also some digestive enzymes just to ensure complete digestion. Or omit the carbs and have more carbs than usual at lunch or some other time. And I would not pound it down in 2 minutes but take 30 minutes to sip if possible.
