How do you feel about meal replacement options? - eviltoast

These can be smoothies, bars, drinks, supplements, etc.

Is there something specific you look for (ex. price, ingredients, specific nutrients etc.)?

Is there a brand you like / avoid (ex. soylent, huel, hol food, etc.)

Edit:

I definitely don’t recommend fully replacing your diet with them. I know some people use them instead of other processed food / fast food / skipping meals entirely, and that’s the use case I had in mind for myself

    It’s 1% of my body weight edit: oops, my math was off! (from 206 to 186), and I expect it to stabilize at about 175-170. I was overeating a lot, and I had recently gained a bunch of weight that I’m now losing again due to correcting my diet.

      20 lbs is 9.7% of your body weight. If you read the scale like you do math then I highly doubt you lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks.

      Hell, I lost 20 lbs in 2 1/2 months (doing Keto, so still eating plenty of protein) and I still lost some hair as it was too quick. 20 lbs in 2 weeks is unbelievable, that would be 70,000 kcal of fat. While an average male uses around 2000 kcal a day, so that’s around 28,000 kcal in 2 weeks. It’s literally impossible, even if we say a handful of your pounds were water weight.

        I guess i got the math wrong on the percentage. Still, down from 206 to 186 is still 20 pounds— unless one of the doctors who weighed me has a scale that’s severely miscalibrated. Didn’t lose any hair though.

        I did gain about that much over the last two or three months, so it’s more that I’m returning to a weight that’s more normal for me, so that may be why.
