What Are Weight Loss Meal Replacements?
Meal replacements aimed to aid weight loss come in food (food bars) and beverage (liquid or powder mixtures) forms, mostly in convenient mix-and-drink or ready-to-drink formulas.

These are marketed as having reduced amounts of fat and sugar for lower caloric content, and contain balanced nutrition, and are meant to replace one or two meals.
