Okay to have protein shakes?

Question

STRICTLY out of curiosity, would it be okay to have a protein shake/meal replacement for only breakfast when I don’t feel like eating?

Answer

I had protein shakes during my last pregnancy and through breastfeeding in order to put on weight. I just found a super clean one I was comfortable with!

Answer

I do a lot of mornings, because I’m starving the second I wake up but I don’t want to eat when I first wake up. The thought of it is not appealing. I’ll have the Premier Protein drinks or a carnation instant breakfast.

Answer

My OB was fine with it. usually, I eat breakfast and drink one for Lunch or dinner. dinner is a hard meal for me because I'm usually exhausted after working all day.

Answer

I did it when I wasn’t gaining wait. It’s safe

Answer

I drink Vega essentials shake for breakfast a few times a week. I’m mostly vegetarian so I try to get protein wherever I can! I had initially asked my OB about protein bars and she said she didn’t see why not so I figured shakes should be fine too 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Just check the caffeine content in some it’s higher than others

Answer

My OB prefers I at least have a protein shake if I don't want to eat.  My SIL swears by them for breastfeeding to up the protein content of your breast milk which gets baby to feel full on less.

Answer

I drink protein shakes once a day bc I'm not eating enough daily 🤷 so I'd say it's fine

Answer

My OB discouraged me from it 😑
I was a bit bummed about that since they’re so convenient.
