Do protein shakes count towards the ounces of liquid per day? My guidance says so many grams of protein and so many ounces of liquid. I'm just confused if my protein shakes can count towards the liquid. Thanks in advance for your insight.

Yup - liquids are liquids.

I counted protein shakes as liquid those first few weeks but now I do 1 protein shake a day and still do 64 ounces of just plain water. Is that ok?

Why wouldn't that be okay?  More liquids is mostly always a good thing.  I aim for 96 ounces a day - 64 is just a minimum :)
