    Shakes as "meal replacements" are gimmicks.

    It's all about calorie balance. If you want to incorporate shakes, shop around for the best price/taste/nutritional value. Hint: shakes that are advertised as "weight loss shakes" can be assumed to be crap from the get-go.

    Im mainly using them for a meal replacement, and for the protein they provide. I am a vegetarian so I need to make sure I am getting as much protein as I need. Also I work 2 jobs and its not always easy to fix a whole meal, so I am hoping the meal replacements will help out.

    Gotcha. I often do the same. A scoop of whey mixed with oats or milk or fruit, may come out quite similar nutritionally, and probably at a lesser cost.
