Hello...My son needs to drink 6 shakes per day but barely has time for 5 per day. He is only 11 years old and goes to sleep by 9p so hours in his day are shorter than an adult who is up until 11p or later. He starts at 8a and drinks every three ours. Biggest problem is he is still full from shake to shake and it takes longer and longer to drink. I was wondering if I could mix 1 and a quarter shake (5 scoops) each time to make up the extra shake he needs?
Thanks, Steven's Mom

Not really. The problem is that if you consume too much protein in one serving, the body just excretes it as urine. So you'd be wasting your money. The amount per serving in Absorb Plus is based on studies showing how much protein the body can likely utilize at one time.

However, you could increase frequency of shakes to one every two hours and just explain to him why that's necessary.

Also, are you giving him the homemade broths and jello between shakes, because the salty broths especially help to stimulate the appetite.

good luck.
