People in the US drink/eat stuff like this all the time, it’s why they are overweight. Not everyone, but a not insignificant number of people.
Most of the time it's disguised behind being in small units (small thin cookies or crackers, liquids, sprinkles and powders) where eating too much is "your fault for being hungry enough and eating the whole box" not the manufacturers for making it adictive and unsatifying. ~~Try eating a whole cheesecake, or deep dish pizza in one sitting.~~
I drink too many of these and am a healthy weight! I'm just unhealthy because I drink those instead of having actual food so Im malnourished (I exaggerate but holy fuck I don't know how someone can have that with a meal and finish both,I never can)
It's a whole day's worth of maintenance calories for a medium-to-big active male. I sure hope you couldn't eat a whole meal on top.
True. I do usually burn 1-1.5k Calories 5 times a week running and the ones I get aren't quite this big so it's not ludicrous, but definitely not good for me. Seems to be roughly balancing out, I'm a hair over 6 ft and bounce between 145 and 155 lbs
I hear you, I’m relatively very healthy, but for a period of time was having something similar to this but probably less extreme a couple times a week. By US standards people would think my weight was normal at that time, but for me I was overweight. Unless you’re burning very high amounts of calories (sometimes I do) these kinds of items have a big impact on anyone’s weight.
