    Not really but most processed food isn't. Dried fruit can be high in cals, don't get sucked into that game. It's all about balance, eat some now and again but not weekly.

    Looking at the actual macro/micronutrient content of a food in the context of one's diet is usually a better indicator of the healthfulness than an arbitrary designation of "processed." There are tons of processed foods that can easily be part of a healthy diet and most successful posters here incorporate processed foods into their meals regularly.

    Me for example -- today I had protein powder with my breakfast and some nut butter with my lunch. Both processed foods, both really good fits for my needs today.

    'Most processed food' and yes where prepackaged exists it is 'usually' going to be full of crap. People need to read labels and realise that whole 'unprocessed' foods are going to be best choice.

    Processed things I consumed today:
    Coffee
    Flavored Creamer
    Chobani Maple Greek Yogurt
    Prepackaged Granola
    Homemade Lasagna which included: jarred marinara sauce, no boil noodles, canned crushed tomatoes, cottage cheese, shredded mozerella cheese, ground beef and italian sausage, baby spinach and dried herbs - all processed
    Chobani Flip for a snack

    Processed things I will consume this evening:
    Butter Chicken made with a jarred sauce, sauteed chicken, snap peas and carrots, instant rice and packaged naan bread
    Wine

    I will be just under calorie goal and pretty on point with macros

    How is that day full of crap exactly?

    your day sounds amazing I got hungry just reading it!

    Actually, they look like something I'd enjoy as a snack -- I like pretty much everything with malt in it. We used to get malt powder to stir into our milk when I was a kid, and I still prefer milkshakes with malt in them. The Soreen products look like they have a decent amount of fiber and protein for a sweet treat but I wouldn't exactly call them meal replacements.

    Ooh call me old fashioned, stuck in my ways etc, but I just can't imagine a chocolate one, or banana come to that. There again I am living a childhood dream in this thread.

    Roll on next summer for my trip home to the UK when I can have some daily. B)

    Cheers, h.

    That because they aren't and never have been.

    I wasn't saying you or anyone else in the thread was claiming they were meal replacements. But I've seen plenty of people over the years here using all sort of strange things as meal replacements. That was called an "observation" on my part -- lighten up.

    Off to cry in a corner, h.

    Hahaha. I live on an island off the West coast of Canada. The malt loaf would probably have a nice green furry coat by the time I got it.

    I gave up on Amazon delivery after tracking a parcel in and out the east coast of the USA and Canada for 2 weeks before it wound its way, over a week, through multiple airports to me.

    Cheers, h.

    Well I tried it and I have to say it tastes awful, I am however willing to commit to a community initiative to get these disgusting festive loaves removed from shop shelves by accepting donations for ‘disposal’
