How many nutritional supplement drinks is it safe or wise to drink in a day?In the past several months I have experienced a significant (and possibly severe) reduction in my appetite. I'm just not hungry, and I can't force myself to eat without feeling sick. Which more often than not leads to me not eating for several days, usually without even realizing it. I also can't sleep at night.. yay me. But that's not what I am addressing here.I had someone tell me since I'm not eating as much as I should, I should drink those Ensure shakes to make up for some of the nutrients I am not getting. What I want to know is how many should I be drinking each day? Just one? I also got myself fruit and spinach and stuff to make some healthy smoothies. I'm trying to plan good meals to eat, but my lack of appetite is making that harder than it probably should be.Diagnosed: ADHD, low blood sugar, asthma, and depression Current meds: Singulair for asthma Female, 5'6", 130lbs

They're designed nutritionally balanced so you just need to match the calories you need.
Nutritional advice regarding protein shakes/liquid dietHi guys! Im not really sure if this is the right place to post this, but I figured its worth a shot:) Im 22 female, 53 and about 220lbs (yes Im overweight, yes Im working on it, Ive lost 20lbs in the last 4 or so months) with autism and ARFID, I was also recently diagnosed with PCOS. Im currently only taking yaz birth control. Ive struggled with eating/wanting to eat since high school, and typically I only eat once a day because Im either not hungry or the thought of eating makes me feel sick. Recently, since I was diagnosed with pcos, Ive been placed on birth control. Ive noticed that I get hungrier faster than I used to, which isnt necessarily a bad thing. The issue is within an hour of eating, Im starving again. Ive just constantly felt empty but because im so hungry, I feel sick and cant eat, which obviously makes everything worse. My question is, since I dont have a nutritionist atm, and I have to go to the store Tuesday for groceries, if you guys had any recommendations on protein shakes or simple snacks that are super filling/cheap that I can get until I can work with someone on my diet? Im just so tired of feeling like this lmao
Your weight and PCOS put you at risk for diabetes. Talk to your doctor about adding metformin to your regimen. Get screened for diabetes. In the meantime high protein/low carb diet will help, but dont do it for too long.
