[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The artificial sweetener makes it taste gross to me. [/quote]

Yeah, they have artificial sweeter and artificial flavor that aren’t great for you.  Fine to have once in a while, but I wouldn’t be drinking these daily.  I know people that drink multiple per day, insane.  Don’t do that. [/quote]

Empty calories. Junk. If you want a treat, fine. If you want nutrition, choose something else. [/quote]

42 g of protein and 3 g fiber in 240 calories is not exactly "empty calories" :roll:

But I take it you also thing drinking any calorie is bad. For someone trying to to lose weight, sure, protein from a chicken breast would probably be better because it could potentially more filling. However, for someone who is very active, struggling to maintain or gain weight, and gets full quickly from most foods these protein drinks are a great supplement. [/quote]

I still disagree. Consuming those calories in a whole food product like beans, nuts, fruit, vegetables, grains- you’d get the vitamins, fiber, along with the protein - and no artificial sweeteners! [/quote]

I don't disagree that whole food are better, however, for someone like an athlete who struggles to consume enough calories because they get full too quickly from whole foods,  these types of supplements are great. [/quote]

This isn’t a product for athletes.  It’s purposely made to be a few calories as possible with the most protein.  And to do that a lot of artificial ingredients are used.  This is a product for middle aged people wanting to lose weight but wanting shortcuts and something to satisfy sweet craving. But they would be better off still by eating real foods [/quote]

This is mostly consumed by active young people.  Not middle aged people.  This is a good product. [/quote]
