A meal replacement is designed to replace a complete meal, providing a convenient solution for weight management and nutrient supply. Although it is often used for weight loss, it can also be useful in other areas such as sports and fitness. It is important to understand that not all meal replacement shakes are the same and legal definitions can vary. Although not designed as a meal replacement in the classic sense, Saturo offers high-quality liquid nutrition that can serve as nutritious snacks or meal replacements when time is short.

Saturo's meal replacement drinks are characterized by a careful selection of ingredients, including all 26 essential vitamins and minerals, and provide a balanced nutrient ratio with a focus on protein quality. These aspects make Saturo an attractive option for anyone looking to enrich their diet with convenient, healthy meals without sacrificing taste and quality.

What is meal replacement?

Basically, meal replacement products replace an entire meal. They are predominantly used as a means for weight loss. However, meal replacements also find frequent application in the field of sports and fitness. They make it possible to replenish energy reserves when there is no time for a proper meal.

In the EU, a meal replacement product for the purpose of weight loss may only contain between 200 and 400 kcal per serving. These diet shakes are known as "formula diets". Without medical supervision, they should not serve as the sole source of nutrition for longer than three weeks. Meal replacements often come in the form of shakes or powder. Some manufacturers also offer special bars, which can also replace smaller meals.

How healthy are meal replacement shakes?

Often, meal replacement shakes are not a complete replacement.

Meal replacement drinks are an alternative to industrially manufactured ready meals, which often rely heavily on flavor enhancers such as glutamate. However, it is important not to rely solely on meal replacements for nutrition. A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are the foundation on which you can build with replacement drinks. Always talk to your doctor about this.

Lose weight with meal replacement shakes

Meal replacement shakes are suitable for weight loss. Each drink always contains the same number of calories, so you can easily manage your daily energy balance with it. Importantly, without medical supervision, meal replacements should not serve as the sole source of nutrition for longer than 3 weeks.

It has also been shown that the choice of food, i.e. whether liquid or solid, can significantly influence energy intake. It makes a difference whether you eat solid food and consume a sugary drink with it, or opt for a meal replacement that contains everything important.

With normal solid food, it is also the case that an extra portion or an unhealthy dessert is readily eaten when cravings are high. This is where replacement meals are very practical. Because on the one hand they are more filling and on the other hand you know how many calories you have just consumed and when you should stop.

Get an overview of your current nutritional profile Various apps and platforms like Cronometer allow you to log your meals over several days. From this, you can then read which nutrients you may be consuming too little or even too much of. This way you can increase your nutritional awareness and find out which foods you can use to particularly well supplement your previous diet.

Making your own meal replacement shakes

You may have wondered by now if you couldn't just make a meal replacement yourself, whether it's a shake or a bar. To be honest, of course you can make your own "meal replacement". However, this will of course also not be a meal replacement in the legal sense.

To do this, you need to be pretty familiar with the various micro and macronutrients and their composition in a wide variety of foods. 100 g of an apple, for example, contains an average of 2.4 g of fiber, 0.12 mg of iron and 0.04 mg of zinc.

Anyone who tries to recreate the complex interplay of ingredients in a meal replacement - which some manufacturers have spent years developing - in normal household use quickly reaches their limits. Although there are already some recipes for this online, from a cost-benefit factor it still doesn't pay off (in our opinion).
