1. A slimfast drink
2. A protein shake
3. And egg white omlet with spinach on a multigrain light english muffin.

I can't make up my mind!!! :)

    You know after being in the nutrition business for the past 15 years and having endured a million different types of protein shakes, smoothies, etc., i can tell you the best choice is an egg white omelet with spinach and a multi-grain english muffin. Better balance and keeps you satiated longer.

    Go with the real food. The body requires more energy to digest unprocessed food. I'm sure both the drinks are full of 'other things'.

    1. NO - too much sugar and no protein
    2. OK - Great for on the go, protein keeps you fuller longer
    3. BEST - b/c its real food, real protein and will make you feel more satisfied then just a shake.

    I like the shakes because it convinces my mind that I am full.

    I would go with number 3 and maybe even add in a piece of fruit.

    It's always better to get your nutrition from actual food. Honestly, I'd trade the multigrain english muffin for some old fashion oatmeal (not the instant stuff) because I've found it keeps you feeling fuller longer.

    Agree. But I used the Instant plain oats from Quaker. They have the same nutrients as the oats in bluk. LOVE them in the morning, and no measuring needed, 1 package is equal to 1/3 cup of dry oats. :) throw in 1/2 a small banana and water! :) YUMM

    Hi, I think so too - definitely 3!

    These diet drinks and bars or diet ready meals are in my opinion useless. I mean, if you enjoy them then its fine to have them, but they are not required at all. ...I have seen diet ready meals which where only lower in calories because the weight of food in it was lower...but still the price was higher :-)

    It's much better to have something unprocessed, like your option 3.
