They aren't a meal replacement, they are a *suppliment*.

Perhaps I should have better stated my opinion. I typed and retyped my reply a few times trying to make sure it made sense. I guess I missed a spot. :)

Meal replacement as in a quick healthy way to get some nutients in your body when you are not able to prepare a full sit down meal as part of your normal eating routine.

I lift weights, and have done so for going on 16 years. I have gone back and forth on protein shakes. For me, they are work as a snack when I am not hungry enough for a complete sit down meal. During some weeks, I work out late at night, so I do not feel like coming home and making a steak or chicken dinner. The protein shake gives me what I need and fills me up at that late hour.

I would NEVER drink protein shakes instead of eating regular meals.

If my math/estimations are correct I'm about 180cm tall, and about 22 stone, or 140 kg.

For Americans that's 5'11" and 310-ish. But in my defense, I'm not JUST fat. I'm stronger than nearly everyone I know. And even without the fat I'm bigger than most folks.

My son is like that( 6'1", 260-ish lbs,22 years) At a party this summer a drunk guy picked a fight with him, and when the two of them started scuffling, several people jumped on MIke to protect the smaller drunk. This only becomes funny when Mike realized the four people hanging from his body could not pull him down the way they had intended to. He was wearing an old shirt that had gotten torn that evening, so he grabbed the hole, ripped his shirt open and made a 'Hulk' sound effect. Everybody got the joke and fell off of him laughing. Then he left the party and started walking home. It gets funnier when he mentions the homeless guy that took him for another homeless guy wandering the street.

It's pretty funny when he tells it.

6'1", 185 lbs, 72" reach. Nikolai Valuev and Wladimir Klitschko, I'm coming for both of you. :hmm:



That said, for the past couple of years I've had to live with a 6'2", 285 lb. brother who is bipolar and refused to take medication for it. Let's just say that I've been forced to learn some tricks over the years.

About height and general size, my impression is that we Europeans, or especially Norwegians are quite big compared to you Americans. Atleast thats what the majority of Americans have said when I tell them I am actually pretty average in height although I am almost 6'2". What is youre take on that?

P.S My brother is about 6'6", and many of my friends are that too. But that is what I call pretty high.

My take is that Scandinavians (and some of the more blond types from The Netherlands) are indeed quite tall compared to your average European, but then again, people tend to get smaller the more you go to the south (Spain, Italy etc).

I wonder if they get heavier as you go south as well. I didn't see any overweight people in Amsterdam or Belgium (although I'm sure there are a few here & there), so I'm wondering how thin people are in Norway, Sweden, Finland, etc.

Well ofc there are people of different size overall in the world. But, I feel that here in Norway you WONT find those "super"-fat people that we see on tv, infact I think that the eating and training habits are very important to the community.

And we dont have oversized menues. I think that over in America, the habit of eating many smaller meals a day is not so common.
