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 apologize if this isn't right to ask, but what issue did you have with skipping lunch? Some cultures practice intermittent fasting anyway, and I'd argue that many people in modern day don't necessarily need 3 meals a day. If you're doing something active or physically demanding like a manual labor job or getting in a workout, sure, you'll need more energy. But if you're sitting in an office all day and don't work out or anything that day, I'd argue a lot of us out there really don't need 3 meals a day.

I'm not trying to say that you, personally, should be skipping meals. I don't at all know you or your situation. I was just curious about it.

It wasn't lunch. I just couldn't eat on any regular schedule at all.
