Meal replacement

A meal replacement drink is one intended as a substitute for a solid food meal, usually for purposes of weight loss. Often such drinks are in the form of a health shake. Medically-prescribed meal replacement drinks, which include required vitamins and minerals, include Optifast and HMR.^[1] Bodybuilders sometimes use meal replacements to save food preparation time when they are eating 5 to 6 meals a day.^[2]
