Hi guys.

I have a question.

Would multivitamins (one-a-day variant) be sufficient to cover for the lack of dietary requirements that diet needs?

i.e. would taking more tablets daily = lessen the need for me to take 3 meals daily?

The thing is, it gets hectic at work, and as a result, I'd have to skip meals (breakfast and lunch usually), and am concern that it would have adverse effect on my body..

Hi there,

In my opinion, multivitamins are not replacement for meals. Multivitamins do not contain any carbohydrate, protein & fat.

You may try some nutritional formula (ie. Good Morning V Plus, Ensure etc) which may act like a meal replacement.

Having said so, not advisable to skip the meals.

Hope that helps

^ Noted on the above reply, much appreciated.

I may try to buy protein shake (off the shelf from pharmacy) to supplement my daily dietary requirement.

Whole or natural foods are the best. Use protein shakes as supplements like to fill up your daily macro requirement.

^ Thanks for the info.

I have tried to incorporate as much as possible in my diet.
e.g. eating whole-grain bread instead of white bread.

However, at times it is difficult, as usually natural food are more expensive than processed food.
