Data Collection

To assess the weight loss efficacy of our meal replacement products, we compared the calories of our meal replacement products with the food calories that normal people consume in different regions throughout the day. Due to the differences in dietary structure and food types between regions of the world, we refer to the survey data of The Global Nutrient Database covering 195 countries from 1980 to 2013[1]. According to the regional distribution of the world's three major cuisines: Chinese, French and Turkish, we estimated the proportion of carbohydrate, fat, and protein supply in the diets of each region from the chart below. We further converted it to the mass of the representative different nutrition-containing foods in the major cuisines to further visualize our comparative model. The table and image data are attached at the end.

Generate Weight loss Samples

Since one cup of our meal replacement can reduce 100kcal per day, it depends on your preference to choose a suitable consumption to fit your weight loss plan. You can calculate your basal metabolism based on your gender, height, weight, and age, choose a suitable exercise factor to calculate the energy needed for the day, and then find the right weight loss plan in our table sheet4 to choose the amount of meal replacement based on the weight you want to reduce during the week. If you're interested, you can also check out how eating our meal replacements can be used to replace your daily diet based on your region in sheet1&2.
