How do you feel about meal replacement options? (lemmy.ca)

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

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.
