So now that the good weather is going to start winding down, I won’t be able to go cycling as much, thus I will need to get myself back to the gym. I work a desk job, and I am sick of eating large lunches… Thus, I am looking for some kind of meal replacement shake for lunch. I would like to buy something that suppresses/relieves my appetite, has some nutritional value, and will get me through the day until after I get home from the gym around 7:30pm. I know some of you work out quite a bit, so any suggestions are welcome! Thanks, Sam ---

They have some chocolate drink at Trader Joe’s with 35g of protein and only 170 calories. Pretty sweet, IMO. ---

These f’ers. $2.20 a can at Trader Joe’s. No idea where else you might find them. > **[Robot Check](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00014FUKU/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000GBKEOU&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1CKNZAENKDSMJ49M3X7N)** ---

I dont see it being healthy to allow your body to survive off nothing but an energy drink for that amount of time… eat some fruit/ vegetables in between. Your body needs food to function. ---

I’m a big fan of buying boxes of Cliff Bars - Builder Bars They’re reasonably priced and have some good nutrition to them. ---
