It depends on your personal use, check the label for the grams of protein & caloric intake. I stopped purchasing this brand because of the carrageenan ingredient. You might want to research carrageenan.

While Orgain does contain 16 grams of protein (and that's a lot), it balances that with carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, even fruits and veggies! So it would not be considered a protein drink, per se. And, while I don't have a bottle of Ensure, on which one could live alone, to compare it with, neither one bottle of Orgain or of Ensure is the equivalent of a full meal. Adults would need about 6 bottles of Ensure for a day's total nutritional intake. And more water than that would also be necessary.

Yes I will consider the. Orgain pritein milk is a meal replacement But the price is too high at amazon. I can buy from local store at $21.00 for 12 packs

I would call it more of a moderately healthy snack or dessert. It doesn't have enough protein to be a great meal replacement, and it has too many carbs to really say it's 'balanced'.

Likely. I bought this to simply improve my nutrition, and I am not nearly as hungry throughout the day. I haven't changed much else in my routine. It seems as though this will help me with my weight loss struggle, too! I take it once in the morning before I leave for work.

I'm not sure about the regular total lean, however, the lean 25 I like because it has more protein. Not to mention the taste is better. I use it as a meal replacement, also for weight loss and occasionally after a workout. But I usually use it as a meal replacement. I have used it as total meal replacement for weeks I've been on liquid diet and done very well on it because the protein keeps me leveled out. Also, if you call a GNC store they are very patient and helpful with questions I've had. Hope this helps. :)

Remember this is not a substitute for good nutrition. Eat a good protein meal three times a day. This is a vitamin/caffeine supplement that gives a little boost but that's about it. Be realistic.

I just love the protein powder, gives me energy for the whole day. I drink it with water or I put it in my oatmeal breakfast, I mix it all with water too and let it sit over night in my refregerator and have it in the morning before I go to the gym

Could you be a little more specific with your question? Here's a little info, it has 20 something grams of protein, drink it as a meal replacement. It is delicious. Taste like a frappa from mcdonalds. It has helped me lose weight. Most of the time I drink it blended, I have drank hot and it taste like hot chocolate. Let me know what other questions you may have

I use it as a meal replacement if I add powdered greens to it. I guess it will depend on what your calorie intake needs to be for the day.

I bought this "miracle whey protein" but found it high calorie, tastes bad and also is not considered a "meal" replacement which I was looking for. Not sure why Dr. Oz is not recommending it. Hope that helps.

I hse this one as a meal replacement. You don't have to workout with it. They have a separate pre workout.

It's just another meal replacement. You don't lose weight unless you're working out and you are hungry a few hours later. It is for sure the best tasting shake out there though. But for someone who already doesn't eat poorly it won't be of much help.

Of course you can.. it is a slower burning protein as it burns over 6 to 8 hours. Its good for taking before bed. It you want a food shake after working out go for a whey protein

It's just protein supplement not a meal replacement. Provides additional nutrients to your diet.

It does seem to curb hunger. I have used it as a meal replacement, and if you mix it with milk it's pretty hearty. It's not Denny's Grand Slam breakfast, but it will get you by. The thing to keep in mind is that it's 100 calories in 8oz, or you can double it and get 200 calories in 16oz, which is pretty filling.

I used it to replace breakfast, but i'm not a huge breakfast eater. Also took with a fruit for lunch when I was in a hurry. As a weight loss tool this shake is better than others because it has a lot less calories. (compared to the ones I've tried at least.) Also... it tastes better :)

I mix it with my protein shake... I would assume a smoothie would be fine. You have to mix it with something other than water (does not taste too good).

Since it provides a wide range of nutrition in a single serving, it likely would be a good meal substitute. So, in that way, it might aid in an overall weight loss plan. I will also add that the canister I received appeared to have gone bad (it smelled very funky and didn't taste good), so I wasn't able to test the product fully.
