For me i always like to drink my meals anyway i could! i would even grind up my oatmeal just so i could put it in a shaker and drink it! i asking because for a little bit i would have my meals be powderd egg whites-oatmeal and olive oil in a shaker three to four times a day! i would do two food meals and 4 shake meals a day! i am currently doing food again because i was told eating was better then drinking! what are everyone's thoughts on this? thanks
