Mar 24, 2015 at 20:47 comment added Tehninjo0 This is not so much an answer as a word of caution: Protein shakes are NOT meal replacements and you should not use them as such. Rather, they are meant to supplement an otherwise complete balance if you are unable to get the desired share of protein you desire from other sources. Let's say for instance you are eating a 60/30/10 (P/C/F) diet, by adding a protein shake you may be able to take that to say 65/30/10 for a total of 105% of your calorie RDA. Granted, percent protein doesn't translate 1 for 1 to calories but you get the idea: Protein shakes are on top of, not instead of.

Dec 6, 2011 at 19:52 comment added Ivo Flipse Protein powder itself is quite low on calories, when combined with something like orange juice (without additional sugar) and some cereal its very light and can be used as a regular meal. But in the end it can't perform miracles, you'll have to keep your calories 'lower' regardless of what you eat. Btw: how often and long or intensive do you swim?

Dec 6, 2011 at 19:21 comment added Ulrich Schwarz The answer might depend a little on whether you want to lose absolute weight or improve your looks/"general condition". A theoretical change of 10 pounds fat less and 10 pounds muscle more is a net non-loss, but might improve your looks. (That being said, I'd tend towards: no, keep the calorie deficit high.)
