@Ryuthrowsstuffis is correct that protein powders aren’t formulated to be meal replacements. The weight gainer powders are a lot closer and contain a lot more calories, but still don’t contain all the micro-nutrients needed. It is easy to add a lot of the micro-nutrients with a simple multi-vitamin/mineral and or some green powder though.
If you aren’t replacing all your meals and just using them as breakfasts a few days a week that distinction becomes a lot less important. combine either with a multi-vitamin and mix it with whole milk instead of water and you have a pretty good start towards a much healthier meal replacement, especially if you are adding a green powder and berries to the mix.
that’s correct, good memory. also… fats are the most dense, typically 1.5-2x the calories. too much sugar carbs at once aren’t usable and will spike your blood sugar unless combined in proper ratios with fats and proteins.
@L_Mariachi This powder is a LOT better then Soylent, but even it has a few of the cheaper minerals. Still, it is much much healthier then soylant and has much better ingredients.
ESA makes keto meal replacement for those on a keto diet, which is very cool.
