A majority of meal replacement products are labeled as weight management aids, meal replacements, or power boosters when it comes to marketing. Meal replacement items aimed at weight loss break away from misleading nutritional claims such as "low calorie" or "reduced sugar", and instead emphasize the healthy, functional advantages of meal replacement.
