Accepted Answer

Protein shakes can contribute to weight gain if they add extra calories beyond what the body needs, but they can also support healthy weight maintenance when used thoughtfully as part of a balanced nutrition plan. For those navigating cancer treatment, maintaining adequate protein intake is often important, and discussing nutritional goals with a healthcare team can help determine the best approach for individual needs and circumstances.
