Question about Protein drinks

I am at that darn last dreaded 15 lbs that just are not coming off. I went back to archives and read quite a bit about going back to 1 to 2 protein drinks a day as a meal replacement. My question is how many scoops of protein powder do you use for your shakes. I have always used 2 scoops, which gives me 190 calories and 40 grams of protein. Is this how others do it?

For me, it depends on the brand of protein. I use however much it takes to get about 25-39 grams of protein per shake. And I like to keep my shakes at 200 calories or less.
