I wouldnt consider a scoop of protein a meal. Meal 3 I would consume food instead of a shake.

Post workout is really the only time you need to use shakes. I would cut out the protein bar as well and replace them with food. Other than that, it looks pretty solid. As you grow, you'll need to up the calories periodically.

appreciate the feedback! Food intake instead of shakes, noted.

Experimentation is key. I have found personally that 3 50 gram protein shakes a day is what makes me grow, milk is second, and "real food" is third except for seeds and meat which ties with milk. I feel i don't need a huge amount of carbs or calorie surplus, although it helps it also makes me fat. This does not really jive with the general feelings of most people. What i am saying is everyone if different.
