Depends on what you want to achieve. Stop before you vomit... if trying to gain then stop only just before. What shakes are they - martini/weight loss/weight gain?
I say eat steak first. I am biased. I can eat 2kg of steak in a day easily before I drink the same amount of protein shake. Age is catching up though...
Like everything else it depends on what study you read. Some studies show peak protein absorption a short time after workout and others show it for a couple of days (vague memory here). Suppose it would also depend on the breakdown of the shake you are talking about in regards to speed of absorption. Man, one of these knowledgeable people will answer you soon.
Stick to two roughly. One after your workout and maybe one before bed. Or before your workout. Whichever you choose. As long as your eating well and exercise common sense you'll see gains.
Whey is fine....whey is meant to activate the most muscle synthesis due to leucine (I think?) Just have it with some milk and I think some cottage cheese. Don't over think it/over spend on supplements. Your not going to notice a difference between whey and casein.
