Hard to say. I haven't found any I like yet. Sounds like a bad plan. Better than skipping a meal though.

Not bad, most of it is sugar alcohols which might gives you the shits. Other than that you're at about 12 net carbs which might be in the form of maltodextrin which is just as bad as dextrose. I'd say its pretty good, not the absolute best choice.
