Silly Question- protein drinks

do you count them as 'food' or 'drink' as far as waiting the "30-60 minutes before drinking after a meal" rule?

Generally I'm so full from a protein drink, I can't drink anything for a while after. I don't necessarily think of the shakes as a food though.

Just curious!

I count them as a drink and it goes towards my liquids for the day.

Both. Included in my liquid count & as a meal. Since I've heard your supposed to wait approximately 2.5 hrs between consuming proteins.
P.S. There's no such thing as a silly question. If we don't ask we may never know.

i count them as both as well. Theres no caffine in them so they count as water and there is a large amount of protien in it as well so it counts for both. Im like you im so full after one i cant think about putting one more ounce of anything in my stomach.
