The main goal is to be meeting your nutritional needs throughout the day, and not 3 big heavy meals.
Real food is always better for you than a shake, but we all have busy schedules and work/school/etc and it's not as easy to get that food. Thus, we supplement it with a shake.

right now I have breakfast at 9:30am so I get up at 4am to workout... then I have dinner normally at 6pm (and the shake) but during the day I don't feel hungry... and my work schedule + personal situations doesn't let me have a better nutrition regimen...
What would you suggest in my case? Shake after workout in the morning and another in the evening?
