It isn't all that different from other meal replacement shakes.

For example - one bottle of regular Ensure has 250 calories plus all the vitamins and minerals - and one bottle of regular slim fast has 190 calories per can, plus the vitamins and mineral.

To be honest - the big difference between the two is who their target audience is. They target things like Ensure to people who want to make sure they get adequate nutrition and supplement calories so they don't starve. They target things like SlimFast to people who want to lose weight but want to make sure they also get adequate nutrition and calories so they dont' starve.

Yes - I'm sure you could drink more than one can/bottle a day. Again - they aren't loaded with calories or fat - they are designed to be balance nutrition. They are probably better than what you are already eating.

Its a high calorie drink full of nutrients used a lot by people recovering from illness etc who want to build their strength up and replace lost nutrients

Although I said high calories, it doesn't have a huge amount of calories but it would be considered high calories for a drink,

however you wouldn't put on weight unless you were drinking them as well as your normal food

I think you can have more than one a day
