I agree with buck. Frosty makes some good points but his main reason seems to be because of mineral and vitamin deficiencies that whey offers. If that was the only reason why not to consume large amounts of whey supplements as meal replacements then you can compusate that by taking a couple of great time release multivitamin/mineral. The main reason you shouldnt have whey to supplement all your meals is because most whey supplements have very low carbs and fats even the whey casinate versions. You need varity to your diet to see in change just like you need variety in your fitness training. Whole food meals offer many benefits that many processed products dont: Natural minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, phytochemicals and many other benefits that I believe scientists havent discovered. Like Frosty stated: Whole meals are more thermogenic than whey because it takes longer and more energy than digest than whey protien. Look to up your protein intake if you must take maybe a couple more servings a day then fine. Just don't substitute all or most of your meals with whey protein powder.
