Thoughts on Labrada Lean Body drink?

Thoughts on labrada lean body drink? my gym always sells them and my step dad drinks them but not sure how good they are for you. I did some research but still want other's thoughts. Will they make you gain a lot of weight if you aren't working out a lot?

I'm not familiar with that particular shake, but protein shakes in general are pointless unless you're either (a) doing a regular strength workout or (b) doing a very low-calorie weight-loss diet. In the latter case they're often recommended to reduce muscle loss.

Apparently the Labrada shake is high-quality protein with some safflower oil and no sugar or starch, so as far as it goes, that's a good product.

Just bear in mind that even if you ARE working out, your body can't really process any more than 20-25g of protein in one hit (ie., about half a serving of the Labrada protein shake), or more than 2.5g/kg over the course of a day (e.g. if you weight 75kg then 187g of protein is your maximum requirement - realistically, closer to 150g). Anything over and above that is just a waste of money.
