Thread: Liquid meal replacments

Eating 2300 calories is really no big deal. Why would you want to replace a meal with such stuff?

Well I am going to start cutting next month and it seemed like a simple way to have those meals when i am on the run like between classes and stuff it would probably make my life a lot less stressful. And I think my cal intake is wrong i can’t find the link i used what are you supposed to multiply you weight in to find your cal intake for a cut?

If you know your maintenance calories, drop about 15% a day.

Sometimes I will replace a meal with a shake, using 1 scoop of vanilla whey, 3/4 cup mixed berries, 1/2 cup oatmeal, and i cup of water, just toss it in the blender.

Or I will mix 1 scoop chocolate whey, 2 Tbsp nat PB, 1 small banana and 1 cup of skim milk

Works out to around 400 - 500 calories

Would this link be of any use? Guide to Cutting, Bulking & Maintenance
By the way, you should also google to know more about the zigzag method. I find this one important so you don't give your body a chance to adjust to a specific number of calories.

thanks for the link to that sticky..lol so are meal replacers a go or a no go?
