It doesn't matter how you drink them - if you want to drink a whole shake three times a day, that's fine.  If you prefer to drink half a shake six times a day, that's fine too.  But you need to drink three whole shakes.

I'm on a limited income too and protein and vitamins and stuff can be expensive, especially in the beginning.  Please make sure you have saved up enough money for this stuff, as it is extremely important.  Do the math to see if you have enough protein powder.

 Yes I'm finding this very expensive.  I am stocking up on items because I know there will be 'pinch' times and after spending time here I know how important it is with keeping up with vitamins and getting enough protein.

One thing for you and your partner to consider is that you will not be eating, so make sure to cut the amount of groceries down and also the size of food that gets cooked.  You will save money from that while you are on the liquid Portion of your diet.  

Definitely shop around and if you can get help that is a bonus too :)

i have 36 slim fast shakes, 1 muscle milk powder/tub,8 EAS shakes, 1 tub of Super Advanced Whey Protein. Is that enough for the month? We spent 30.00 on the slim fast shakes because they were at Big Lots on sale and came in packs of 12. 10.00 on the EAS shakes, 15.00 on the tub of whey protein, and 24.00 on the tub of Muscle Milk powder from GNC It was on clearance for 20.00. We started purchasing the protein in November.

Yea, I did that. They don't expire until April so I'm good there.

 Be careful as the Slim Fast ones don't have a good mix of protein/calories etc.

Remember that you won't be eating regular food so the grocery bill will be less.

They can get expensive especially when having them 3 times a day.

My favorites - Jay Robb, Body by Vi & Pure Protein - Chocolate Ready to Drink 35 gram cans.
