Meal Replacement

Has anyone ever tried a meal replacement (shake, bar, whatever) while out on the road? What was your reason for trying it, and what was your experience with it?

A little background on the questions above: about a month ago, my wife got on board with a company who makes a meal replacement shake. I've taken protein shakes and the like before and they all tasted like straight up crap, so I was curious to try these. I tried it, liked it, and had one nearly every morning for breakfast (I rarely eat breakfast anyway) for a month. I wasn't exactly trying to lose weight (although I have been getting a bit of a gut in the last couple years); I was just having a shake for breakfast instead of, well, nothing.

After a month, my wife and I were talking and, out of curiosity, I decided to weigh myself. (Keep in mind I had not changed my diet or my exercise habits.) I had lost 10 lbs, from 175 to 165.

Back to the original questions up top. The reason I ask about this is that I am pretty stoked about how much better I feel when I'm drinking these shakes for breakfast, and about how much they have helped in other people's health/fitness/weightloss goals, and I was wondering this:

If this were made available to truckers (say, near a truckstop), what would convince you to buy it? The taste? The easy access (once you buy it, all you gotta do is have something to mix it up with -- instant breakfast/lunch/dinner/whatever 'on the go')? The price? The nutritional value? The extra energy?

I'm considering going out by the local truckstop(s) because, having been out on the road for a year or so myself, I know how frikkin difficult it is sometimes to get a healthy meal. I'm just curious to see what reaction I might get from folks on here (and so, to some degree, from folks out on the road).

I appreciate your time, gents (and ladies)!

Did I say something wrong? Or is this the reaction I was asking for?

 

I don't know if I'll get in trouble with the Mods or not for talking about the brand and everything in here, so for right now (until I hear from one of them) send me a message if you would like some more info?

Cuzzin_it, if you normally skip breakfast anyway, this is frikkin perfect for you. That's how I am (skip breakfast 90% of the time), so now I just mix up a shake real quick (takes all of a minute).

Arizonasky1982, the simple part is the shake. The hard part is sticking with the challenge of meeting your goal.
