Good to read, but isn't a protein drink full of calories? Aren't we better off getting protein from food?

I think its a case of both CJ! We are meant to eat about 70g of protein a day, that is hard to get just from food so the protein shakes top you up. Some are lower in cals than others, i just had a CLICK expresso shake this morning for brekkie, 15g of protein for 120 cals. A good start to the day
