Q: Can I use the Shake as a meal replacement?

A: Although it’s not originally formulated as a meal replacement, the Shake can serve as one when combined with additional protein sources like milk or yogurt and healthy fats such as nut butters or seeds, all of which help promote a feeling of fullness.

Why the shake is best enjoyed as a nutritional supplement rather than a meal replacement.
 

CAN THE SHAKE BE TAKEN AS A MEAL REPLACEMENT?

The Rooibos Lifestyle Shake was not formulated to be a meal replacement, but as a premium daily supplement. As with all things, it comes down to general recommended daily intake (RDI) values for macronutrients.

Macronutrients are the nutrients your body needs in large amounts to provide energy (calories/ kilojoules) and support essential bodily functions like growth, repair and daily activity.

There are 3 primary macronutrients that your body needs to function and each of them contributes to your daily calorie counter.

  1. Carbohydrates – Main energy source
  2. Proteins – Build and repair muscle and tissue
  3. Fats – Long-term energy and support for hormones and cell membranes

The recommended intake of carbohydrates, protein and fats per meal depends on overall daily needs, which vary by age, gender, activity level and health goals. However, the standard guideline for a balanced adult female diet is approximately 2000 calories (kcal) / 8400 kilojoules (kJ) per day and an adult male require approximately 2500 calories (kcal) / 10500 kilojoules (kJ) per day.

To support healthy weight loss in an adult, the daily kilojoule (kJ) intake generally needs to be lower than the energy the body uses — creating a caloric/kilojoule deficit. 

To work out what your ideal energy intake should be to lose weight you can do the following calculation 

Step 1 – Calculate your estimated Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) 

BMR = how much energy your body needs at rest  

For Women 

BMR = 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x age (y) – 161 

Step 2 – Multiply BMR by Your Activity Level 

Activity Level 

Multiplier 

Sedentary (little/no exercise) 

1.2 

Light activity (1–3 days/week) 

1.375 

Moderate activity (3–5 days/week) 

1.55 

Very active (6–7 days/week) 

1.725 

Extra active (athletes/manual work) 

1.9 

 

For Women 

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) = BMR × Activity Level =? kcal/day (? kJ) 

 Step 3 – Subtract Energy for Weight Loss 

To lose weight, subtract: 

  • 2,000–3,000 kJ/day 
    (or 500–700 kcal/day) 
    This creates a healthy, sustainable fat loss of ~0.5–1 kg/week 

Example Calculation (Female, age 35, 60 kg, 165 cm, moderately active) 

Step 1: 

  • BMR = 10×60 + 6.25×165 – 5×35 – 161 

BMR = 600 + 1031.25 – 175 – 161 = 1295.25 kcal 

Step 2: 

  • TDEE = 1295.25 × 1.55 = ~2007.64 kcal/day x 4.184 (kcal-kJ conversion) = 8399.96 kJ 

Step 3: 

  • Weight loss intake = 2007.64 – 500 = ~1,507.64 kcal/day (6,308 kJ) 

When you have calculated your ideal weight loss energy intake you can calculate your meal plan as per the following example, keeping in mind you need to still need a well-balanced meal plan that includes nutrient-dense food.
