It seems to be oriented at weight loss, with a wide range of 24 "micro-nutriments" and twice as much protein calories as carb calories. 205 calories per serving of 54gms The reviews say "great taste and not lumpy" so likely to be tolerable over several weeks. It's also on sale direct from the maker's at the moment at a mere £9.99 per kilo - allegedly 1/3rd the usual price.Not that I'm a miser .... but ....It seems best to use this stuff with some form of real-food, on a daily basis.  The ladywife reckons she can make not just low-calorie soups with plenty of nutrition (and roughage) in them but also many "ordinary" meals with a bit of fish, meat, cheese, legumes etc. but (for me) no portion of carbs such as pasta, tatty, rice or bread. This makes it easier for her culinary procedures as she can still make the same thing for both of us but without adding the carbs portion for me. I get the real fud only once per day, of course - and a reduced portion. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> So - one 50gms shake serving made with 100ml semi-skimmed milk = 205 + 156 calories (361) with a real-food meal making up another 400-500 calories per day. Probably another 100 calories in the form of non-starchy veg, for roughage and tooth-exercise.I'll start next Friday</blockquote>
