I stumbled on this old post and curious. Before transitioning my lifestyle to become vegan, I used to use Mass-Tech to keep my weight regulated. When I workout I do circuit drills mixed with high cario for an hour and a half and other days run 8-12 miles. These are calorie drainers. Understanding I would have to find the correct portion from me, will your mix above keep the weight regulated? Your portion size is 1-18 ounces. Will the full 18 ounces meet the nutritional facts, or is it a lesser amount to meet them?
