What's wrong with 2 scoops?
More calories? I'm not an expert here and welcome all advice. Another scoop is going to be another 170 calories. That's 340 a day, 2380 a week. Do I need that extra 340 a day to get my metabolism up or for energy to burn more? I'm looking to clock in around 2000 gross calories a day.

Instead of those two scoops of powder you could eat a half pound of pork tenderloin or 11 ounces of chicken breast from a caloric standpoint. Which do you think would fill you up more?
ETA: if you only have two shakes all day you are going to pig out fat night. It won't hold you over...especially if you have been eating poorly. Eat your calories.

I honestly don't know. I haven't had a protein shake since 10th grade (~14 years). I'm not against either of those things in general. I love pork. Maybe there is a happy medium here and that is something I will figure out in the next month.
A shake makes sense for me with work most days also. I try to be as efficient as possible and drinking a shake while I clock another hour is way better than me running home and heating up something, eating out or heating something up at work. I have a pretty flexible lunch situation but I prefer to work unless it is a work related lunch. I also seemed to be way more concentrated from 7 AM to 3 PM. Those last two hours can be tough for me to maintain focus.

I always have lunch with me. You'll figure it out. Just don't over think it. And download the myfitnesspal app. If you aren't logging every single thing you eat you will have no idea how many calories you are eating or the macronutrient break down. You need to log it for a bit until you know.

Rmc, you mention you plan on doing cardio but not resistance training . Any reason why?

I don't have any equipment and I am not planning a gym just yet. That might change after the first month or so, but right now its just not in the cards. I'm not totally opposed but its a little more inconvenient just right now.

You could do what I did when I started out....
I started slow just by going to track/neighborhood and walking for an hour. Then worked it up after a week to add a little jogging, and so on. But when I finished I would do sets of push ups since my heart rate was up and I think it helped a bit.
Took me about 2 months before I could actually jog a full mile without feeling like I was on deaths door but now it isn't anything

I was almost scared to get on the scale this morning after being at the beach for 4 days and just completely ignoring my diet. Suffice it to say when the numbers showed up as 271 and change I almost did a happy dance / jig right there on the scale. I still haven't had much movement over the last 2-3 weeks, but vacation is past me and wasn't a complete failure of bouncing back up in weight, so I'm pumped to start this week.
It was nice to indulge myself a little bit, but it reinforced just how terrible my food decisions have been in the past. I'm glad I'm not shoving food like that down my throat every day like I used to, and I'm looking forward to getting back to lighter meals and not eating to the point of being stuffed and horribly uncomfortable.

I agree on the fact that you should intake your calories and protein through food rather than drink. But in many situations protein shakes are a good quick way to get quality and healthy calories. If taking the correct protein.
After a crazy weekend in Vegas of eating, drinking, and not sleeping, I'm happy with where I am as of this morning.
Starting tomorrow I'll be back in the gym. My goal is to maintain for a month of so. Keep everything in check. Then put on some clean mass.

I started couch to 5k this morning. I've got a park within a 5 minute walk and another within 3-4 minutes drive that I am going to alternate between. I hate running on roads because of traffic.
Anyway, I was able to do the program today. Of course, I'm a little sore but otherwise fine. I play pickup basketball games and/or coed softball throughout the year so its not as if I am starting from ground zero. Just slightly above 0.
I had a strawberry banana shake for breakfast - 1 banana, 5 frozen strawberries, 1 scoop of whey powder, 10 ice cubs, 1 cup of 1% milk - ~400 calories. I'm ok at this point (9:45) but can feel the urge to eat coming on. I may take poops suggestion and actually eat meat for lunch. I've got a ton of meat leftover from yesterday cooking. Maybe eat about 8oz of a 12oz ribeye.

Just keep track of your calories. Since I started using myfitnesspal again three weeks ago I've lost 10 lbs.

Bbrou, did you find it hard to get in 200 grams a protein from clean sources in an intermittent fasting window? I started yesterday and was only able to get in 175. I think im gonna have to add a shake or two in. Chicken breast, tuna, and egg whites just isnt that appetizing when you have previously been doing a high fat keto diet.

I've been absent for a while here.. I've been really busy and really with buying a car, moving, going to Dallas for the game last weekend, etc.... but I've been active so while my diet has been bad, I haven't been overeating all that much and been exercising. But I think things are beginning to settle down and it's time to

It was really hard to get them in while doing IF and staying clean. The best I found was canned tuna in water. By far the best source. Then plain greek yogurt with Dymatize ISO 100 sprinkled on top.
I was ok though only doing chicken and tuna.

You stayed around 200 grams per day?
