@Xenozoa425 what's your opinion about huel?

I never heard about it until today, but I looked around at it and it seems like a fairly solid and convenient, albeit expensive method of portioning your macros. I saw they are vegan focused, their powders contain all the essentials amino acids, fatty acids, and nutrients, but not having any meats or dairy products will turn some people off. Not to mention that meat/seafood/dairy/egg food sources yield a higher degree of certain nutrients that plants alone cannot provide. Vitamin A for example, is important for vision, cellular function and autoimmune support. Some people genetically cannot convert beta carotene from plants into Vitamin A, while meat sources (fish is a great example) already have the converted form of Vitamin A that the body can readily use.

It basically depends on whether or not you are willing to spend that much money on a meal plan, versus spending less money on single ingredient foods and more time researching what macronutrient profile you need, cooking, reading labels, etc.

$99 for 28 meals of Huel (that lasts a month) VS what I use personally... $25 for 25 servings of hemp, pumpkin seed and milk thistle seed powder, $25 for 46 servings of bovine collagen peptides, and $30 for 50 servings of MCT oil powder. That will be saving me $20-$30 a month.
