GNC Total Lean/FitMiss - nutrition question

I am on the road to losing a lot of weight and have been using protein shakes t replace 1-2 meals per day (I have been using Syntha 6 Isolate). I was given a can of GNC Total Lean, and liked it - especially since it is geared as a meal replacement. What I did not like is that it contains partially hydrogenated soybean oil. I typically go out of my way to avoid it in the foods I buy.
I just wanted some opinions on if it is worth it to stick with the Total Lean over the Syntha 6 for meal replacement, or is the partially hydrogenated soybean oil reason enough to steer clear of the Total Lean.
I had also been considering FitMiss - anyone who has tried it, is it one you can sub 2 meals a day for? Doesn't really say on the can and couldn't find much on the net regarding actual instructions.
Or, is it just best to stick with what I've been using (Syntha 6) - I just want to lose the weight as fast as possible, and use the best supplement/meal replacement that I can. I know that Syntha is not a "meal replacement" it is a protein supplement, which is why I have been considering an actual "meal replacement" powder.

Then avoid it, problem solved.
Better yet, get your protein from whole food sources if possible.0
