You are going to struggle to hit your protein targets (and keeping under your carb targets) by eating egg sandwiches...
Well don't be lazy then and fry some eggs, takes like 3 minutes. If people can't even cook eggs, then I have no idea how they can survive ... Oh right, nurishment and guiness.
And what about the amount of sugar in these nurishment drinks? Surely that's worse than the carbs from bread.

Yes, same here. The sandwich suggestion was for people saying that the 3 minutes it takes to fry eggs is too long.
Why doesn't have any sugar, you get 1.5g of carbs per serving of Whey.
20g of protein, 1.5g carbs and 1.7 fat. They Whey is far healthier, quicker to be absorbed and contains far more protein than several eggs without all the extra fats.
No when it comes to nurishment vs eggs, I'd pick eggs. Over them I'd pick Whey any day.
Especially since I can go through 40-60 eggs a week easily if I relied on them for protein and I'd still need lots of other meats and fish to reach my protein targets.
Correction - you have no idea what I'm talking about.
Nearly 3x the amount of sugar than protein in these nurishment shakes.

No one does.
I could probably do with increasing my intake but I think I'll stay off the Nurishment for now... Did they have a strawberry flavour one? I think I may have had some many moons ago. If I recall correctly, no matter how much I shook the can it always tasted like 90% of what was in there was in the last 10% of the drink.
I'm not all that keen on drinking shakes, the quality seems to be a bit of a minefield and I'm quite happy to consume the fats (and vitamins) the whole egg gives, but then I don't do enough exercise to have to worry about getting enough protein from food without going to excessive amounts.
If I did implement a more strenuous regime I think that I'd need to supplement my protein intake in some form for the sake of convenience if I actually wanted to stick with it. Do you have any preferred brands that you'd recommend?

The quality of eggs is definitely more consistent than the quality of most protein shakes, regardless of what kind of protein they are based on. These shakes have so much other junk added to them other than simply being whey protein, that as said above the quality if them is a minefield.
Anyway I thought that based on the first few posts in this this thread the discussion was nutrition shakes as a meal replacement, I disnt see anything regarding body building at all which would change my opinion on protein shakes considerably.
Fine, feel free to enjoy your life living off nurishment shakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and have fun being 98.5% pure turbo as a result.

It's hardly a mine field at all, with all things there's some basic research involved. Whey is overall an excellent source of complete proteins and amino acids that have no drawbacks unless you are sensitive towards lactose. In that case you can easily take Whey Isolate which has greatly reduced amounts of lactose or any one of the other Vegan forms of protein powders.
Also Bhavv's comment of egg protein quality being a " definitely more consistent" form of protein is tripe.
Basics in Sports Nutrition and just searching the internet will show that both are solid complete proteins with all the essential amino acids.
On the note of recommendations have a look here http://www.myprotein.com/uk/products/impact_whey_protein
Most shakes DO NOT have loads of junk added to them, unless you go and buy these so called "blends" that some companies make. Then it's your own fault for not taking even a few minutes to look up the ingredients online.
If you want good plain protein supplement, get plain of 100% Whey.
The fact that Bhavv thinks it's only for bodybuilders shows he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Except thats completely not what I said at all now is it?
'Quality of eggs is more consistent than the quality of protein shakes'
=/=
'Egg protein is more consistent than whey protein'. Get the chip off your shoulder and stop reading only what you want to believe I've written.
If youre not body building then a healthy balanced diet is always better for you than relying on heath supplements. Simple as that.

Nothing I've said in this thread has anything to do with that obscene nurishment drink/potion/thing/cocktail. I'm picking up on your comment about protein shakes that is so far off the mark I had to find another ruler to measure the distance.
When people talk about protein shakes, that's what they almost always mean. Whey protein only and nothing else. If there's more in it than that then it's not merely a "protein shake" and it's generally called something else.
The reason I'm having a go at you is because you brought the protein shakes argument in to this and don't seem to be listening to any points, but worse still you are sticking to your completely incorrect view that "protein shakes have loads of crap in them". Please either go and read up on this, or alternatively just shut up. You don't know what you're talking about and you are quite frankly wasting both your and everyone else's time by posting complete misinformation on this board.
I have the feeling you're now going to carry on yapping on about how eggs are better than this nurishment drink, which I've not even mentioned at all but I'm sure that won't stop you. SHOCK as protein rich wholefood is better than sugary ready-made energy drink! :\
Ok, well I'm not a usual person complaining about whey protein, get it???
I'm complaining about all the other stuff added into these drinks on top of the whey protein, i.e in this case the triple amount of sugar to protein content.
This nurishment shake in particular, which is the topic of this thread is terrible. That opinion is not based on it being a whey shake.
Oh right, so you're the one admitting to being off topic then? Maybe read the thread title and OP next time.
Everything I've said in this thread is about the thread title and the OP.

This isn't your typical protein shake at all though, not in any shape or form! If you're just talking about this drink then that's fine, but you brought protein shakes in general in to the equation and that sort of misinformation is what can put people off for totally false reasons.
