So then how is this supposed to be implemented? Should my meal frequency go down, should the following meals have half the protein?

I took this post not as advice for everyday hardcore training diets. But on the days like holidays (ie. Thanksgiving), where you know you're going to cheat so you can take down a 40g whey shake in order to prevent yourself from completely binging.

It's really simple. Plan on downing a lot of junk? Grab a protein shake before hand. No need to go in to such detail. I personally use this method in my off season, every carb up/cheat day. So that may be once to twice a week.

There is no "right or wrong" about it. It's just used, so you can get enough protein in (as the most important part of our diet) and also ables you to not eat as much as you would have normally.

No rocket science about it. If you want two scoops, use two scoops. Simple.

Personally, I would use WHEY as there is no need using other Aminos for this (BCAAs etc.) that may cost a bit more then Whey does.

What about caloric efficiency though?

I don't believe you're familiar with the way I organize my diet. Protein is in first, no matter what. And a lot of it.

This means, if I am going to cheat, I need my protein. If my cheat meal is going to be high GI, I get my protein in from WHEY as I need it.

Cheat meal = a lot of calories, which I already plan for. If I am going to be worried about the extra 200 cals from a shake, then I may as well not cheat (rather call it a refeed day, as cheat implies it to be a "non planned event").

Hopefully I understood your question correctly, OS.

I also don't know what the effects are off essential amino acids are on satiety; based on the mechanisms discussed, I don't think they would be the same as whey. Off course, essential aminos are an invaluable component of the diet; but for satiety whey is most likely optimal.
