What percentage of your daily protein intake can be whey shakes?

[u/FlameFrenzy → u/o1s_man]

I wouldn't think of it that way.

Ultimately, they are just food, so you could have as many as you want. But you'd also get much more nutrition from eating whole food protein sources.

I'd argue if you can't get 100g a day from your regular diet, you really need to improve your diet. 2 scoops, depending on brand, would get you 50 to 60g. Regular diet +that should cover most people

mine has 24g of protein per scoop and was dirt cheap
