How how many protein shakes should you have to increase calories intake?

Answer 1

One egg contains over six grams of protein and several important nutrients. it gives you 7 to 8 gms of protein, 3 oz beef = 20 gram protein ...Kidney beans1/2 cup = 9 gram protein ..you should be requiring some where near 40 to 55 gms protein intake a day, you can take protein shakes but it would be better if you follow a recommended diet plan according to your body weight. below is an example hopefully it will help, courtesy to a blog:

If you weigh 160 pounds and want the maximum acceptable protein intake (0.9 gms pro/lb), you'd need 144 grams of protein an amount you could easily consume from a day's diet that includes 1 quart skim milk (30 gms protein), 1 can tuna (30 gms pro), and 8 ounces chicken breast (70 gms pro).
