You would get a lot of disagreement then. Try telling the met-rx folks, or eas, or weider nurtrition that their engineered foods are no different than the garbage sold in grocery stores. Everyone will consider their own stuff superior to everyone else, and will bristle at the idea of being included in company they don't respect. Nothing surprising about that. -- ¤bicker¤ "It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan People are, of course, welcome to place whatever irrelevant limitations on their ability to enjoy something that they wish. |

Everyone will consider their own stuff superior to everyone else
I am not talking about met-rx vs. eas. One poster used the following litmus test: 'Does the food have preservatives, etc. in them . . .' .. . . to determine if the food is engineered or not. If that is the test then 95% of the grocery store is engineered and I am sure that the supplements companies would disagree that their MRPs are like the junk sold in grocery stores. Which MRP is better, met-rx, twin lab, eas, weider nutrition, etc. is a different argument and thread. -g |

You can always hard boil some in advance. I have a Salton Egg Cooker that I really like -- makes hard boiled, soft boiled, or poached eggs in a matter of minutes. And it only takes a minute or two to fry or scramble eggs on the stove, also. By the time I measure out cereal, protein powder, and skim milk, there's not a big difference. Chris |

I don't think 190 calories would hold me for too long. Chris |

Of course, even if you're offering to come over each morning and prepare it for me, I eat my shake in my car on the way to work. Might be hazardous to try the same with an omelet. -- ¤bicker¤ "It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan People are, of course, welcome to place whatever irrelevant limitations on their ability to enjoy something that they wish. |

Which are you taking issue with? "Engineered" or "meal replacement"? Regardless, my comment (quoted above) was about what you said here, with respect to what the supplements companies would say about being compared. -- ¤bicker¤ "It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan People are, of course, welcome to place whatever irrelevant limitations on their ability to enjoy something that they wish. |

Or 1 cup HiLo cereal 200 kcal, a cup of 1% milk for total of 310 kcal, 36G protein (soy). (Thanks Chris, found out about this cereal from your posts) Only negative for me is Target is the only place I've found this stuff and the nearest is a 50 mile round trip. I buy it at Trader Joe's -- do you have any of those near you? Just out of curiousity, I did a search and found that there are sources online where you can order this.

How do the soft boiled turned out in the Salton? I'm asking if the whites are fully cooked. Can't handle uncooked egg whites early in the mornin. Yes, the whites are fully cooked. The amount of cooking in the Salton depends on how much water you put in, and I'm sure that if you put in too little you might get running whites, but I've not had that problem. In fact, I use a tad less water than indicated on the measuring cup, because my yolks were getting a little too cooked. I think this might be because we have hard water, or maybe because I use Large eggs rather than Extra Large or Jumbo. Anyway, it helps to experiment a bit to find out how to get just what you want. My usual favorite, though, is using the little cups to make poached eggs, because I don't have to deal with getting hot eggs out of their shells :-). Chris |
