Basically how it says above. Would it be viable to use slim fast with my fitness Pal?

Slim Fast Diet itself isn't viable.
However, if you want to use a few Slim Fast products to help you meet your calorie goals once in awhile, there isn't any problem with that.7 -
I have never used slim fast. Just watching adverts and was wondering if it was possible ?0

As long as you log it you can eat anything.5

I track Slimfast products all the time with mfp.
Usually grab one of the meal replacement bars when I'm running late for brekki.2 -

Have you tasted it? Have you looked at the calories and figured out what you could have instead for the same calories? Try to buy one, not a 6-pack. I’ve never tried the bars.0

Slim Fast does not do anything special for weight loss. Weight loss is 100% about consistently being in a calorie deficit, and it does not matter what specific foods you eat. Some people enjoy meeting their calorie goals with Slim Fast; most people (including me) do not enjoy the taste of it and would not want to eat it.
Since Slim Fast is just a food, it doesn't make sense to ask whether it "works" with MFP. You would log it just like you log any other food.
Eat what you want within your calorie goal. If you want Slim Fast, then drink it, but be aware that it doesn't have any special weight loss properties. There's no reason to drink it unless you like the taste.8 -
I’m with everyone else. But me personally I happen to like the way the slimfast shakes taste and the nutritional values are good on them so I normally drink one a day for work over lunch along with some protein bar. I only drink the high protein versions though. It works for me and my body to do lunch like that. It gives me just enough fuel to get through the day. Slimfast products in itself is just another calorie food item. But one I happen to really like the taste of.6

I love the taste too,much better than any protein powder I've tried throughout the years and I love the way it blends so smoothly,if you want to use slim fast use it but log it same as any other food/drink2

Sure, you can use SlimFast or any other consumable product with MFP. In fact, I think it's better to use it with MFP rather than on your own so you can make sure you don't undereat and can see how it affects all your numbers.4

It's OK...but I would perhaps look around for cheaper alternatives (depending on how you are wanting to utilize the product in your lifestyle change)...I mean if it's meal replacements, then there are other powders available for example MyProtein do a "Meal Replacement" powder that comes in 500g, 1Kg or 2.5Kg packs...

But then Tesco do their own range also:

I cannot speak for either...but using them alongside MFP's calculators and exercise may garner results?!
I have used Slim Fast in the past as a Meal Replacement (used to have a shake for breakfast...or dinner) depending on the situation...but like people have said...they're not a 'magic slimming device'...they are more an aid to controlling your calorie intake and as such the other stuff is workable too...

My mom is obsessed with slimfast crap, if you look at what's really in it, it's chocolate milk with extra sugar, some oil mixed in, and processed added fiber :P It's crazy1 -
I’m using slim fast with flaxseed powder 1tbsp and a banana plus almond milk as breakfast with one hard boiled egg😘
On my days off I’ll skip the slim fast and make a nice steak and potatoes or some other more hefty meal as I generally have a later breakfast which is practically lunch time anyways.
Lunch is a salad of choice (meal preps twice a week for just this meal planning portion of my plan)
Dinner is a fruit salad and another egg.1 -
Slimfast itself contains the full array of vits and mins. However. If you stick to 3 a day you’ll absolutely feel like you’re starving. It’s not filling. If you are going to use it as is. At least have some egg whites. Your stomach works less hard when it’s a liquid. So you’ll feel hungry sooner than if it had some solids to work on digesting.3

Just to clarify...Slimfast isn't just shakes.
A lot of misinformed people on here.
They do meal replacement bars, cheddar bites, porridge, pretzels, mini snack bars..2 -

This was true for me, slimfast alone only has 110 calories so I do a breakfast of 1 egg(70) cals,light bread(45) cals,some ham(70)cals then add a slimfast with some almond milk blended with coffee and ice makes a nice breakfast ❤️1 -
