I find it amazing that people take this idiotic idea seriously. Newsflash: there has always been protein shakes. Stuff you can buy at GNC is almost certainly a lot better for you than this garbage.
Protein shakes that I'm aware of aren't attempting to provide a complete and balanced diet, they are attempting to provide a supplement.
Meal replacement shakes attempt to provide a complete and balanced diet.

First one looks good but how can it be a meal replacement with 0 cholesterol?
Also it's $3/serving, but each serving is 300 calories, so you'd have to eat at least 6-7 servings per day = $18-$24 per day.
