Question About the Drinking Rule

So I know that I'm not supposed to drink anything half an hour before, during, and half an hour after my meals. But do my protein shakes count as a meal in that sense? Is it important to wait the 30 minutes before and after drinking the shakes? Just plain premier protein shakes not blended with anything

      I don't think so. As I understand it, the rule is to prevent washing solid food into the intestine before the stomach has broken it down. With a shake there's nothing to break down.

      Protein shakes are considered fluids. Happy drinking! Kate
