A member asked:
Somebody said if i drink protein shakes it will thicken my body is that true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protein shakes: Protein shakes as a supplement to your diet will add protein and calories, so you should gain weight. Gaining weight and thickness though depends upon calories consumed versus calories burned. And you wish to gain muscle more than fat, so exercise wisely and avoid saturated fats in your diet.
