    Honestly I really needed the weight but you are probably spot on. I get enough protein bc of my protein powder atleast. Definitley gotta look into the saturated fats, wasn’t aware that was an issue for meat replacements, thanks.

      Also, protein is the most filling of the three macronutrients. But there are some caveats. Protein powder, especially fast absorbing ones like whey, are generally not that filling. At least not compared to tuna, chicken etc… So make sure to find substitutes that indeed are filling

      Good to hear then if it isn’t unwanted weight. Food replacement stuff can be fine but it can also be super sketchy.
