Not as good as eating. I know someone who uses them as her main source of food. She is lacking in B12 and Iron. They will maintain your weight of 115 lbs. provided you drink approximately 4 per day. You are not getting any fibre with them either. I would only suggest drinking them if you are unable to eat food in the regular fashion.

Well there's nothing like a well balanced meal, but most meal replacement drinks are for people on the go, not something you should be using every day. A meal replacement drink can't supply you with all the nutrition your body needs, so it should be good for a few meal replacements a week but not on a daily basis.

I wouldn't recommended as a meal replacement but maybe as a snack or in between meals for some source of nutrients because like others say, it does lack some important vitamins/minerals. I love them cuz they taste good so I just use it for a breakfast substitute, or a snack or both! I wouldn't recommend skipping lunch or dinner for it unless you already ate a lot.

You are much better off eating a low cal meal than taking a drink as a replacement!

They're good if you want to gain weight. If you're looking to have them instead of a meal for weight loss, they have more calories than a happy meal.

My doctor recommends them as a supplement for my son since he is such a picky eater, and we want to make sure he is getting enough supplement.
