Just had a slim fast for lunch, and was reading the nutrition facts. It appears they would be good for an energy drink, or am I missing something?

I run ultramarathons, and can tell you that SlimFast, and its generic counterparts are pretty popular in the long distance running community. I'm not much of a dieter, but I love them for breakfast before a ride or run. The SlimFast bars are pretty good too! And they make some snack bars (smaller and better than the meal-replacement bars) that are as good as many candy bars.

I'm getting hungry just thinking about it...

I use the bars - esp the new chewy granola ones - and they seem to do OK . Be careful of the shakes - sometimes they would give me the "trots"
