Pretty tasty.

I love these things. I was, of course, first introduced to them by the classic video game Metal Gear Solid 3, but they are in fact quite tasty and filling. Perfect when you just need to grab something to sate your hunger, even if you're not treking through the jungle.

The Calorie Mate takes me back to Japan again. These are the exact "food blocks" you get when you're practically running to catch the Ginza Line, sweat pouring down your face--but there's time to stop at the kiosk for a strangely unattractive but utterly delicious cookie that looks more like an industrial scrubber pad or pack of torx screws. Delicious enough that they got gobbled here in NO TIME. Delicious and nostalgic!!

Delicious and nutritious

I bought this product at the recommendation of my friend. I honestly thought it was all hype, but I’m happy to say that this is a more-than-adequate meal replacement nutritionally balanced foodstuff. I’ve already dropped several pounds in only a month, and that’s while still eating junk at other times of the day. This comes highly recommended and I actually just ordered another pack.

Yea i had the urge to try Calorie Mate bc of everythingi had heard, but I'll say it was a highly disappointing experience. As someone who values taste, nutrition, and quality in their food choices, this product fell far short of my expectations. So the flavor of Calorie Mate is downright unappetizing. I tried the "Original" flavor, and it tasted like a bland, artificial mess. The texture was equally off-putting, resembling a dry, crumbly brick that required immense effort to chew and swallow. It left an unpleasant aftertaste that lingered long after consuming it, making me regret the decision to give it a chance in the first place. While I understand that Calorie Mate is marketed as a convenient meal replacement option, the nutritional value it offers is questionable at best. The ingredient list is riddled with artificial additives, preservatives, and a host of unpronounceable substances that left me feeling uneasy about what I was putting into my body. The fact that it claims to be a "complete meal" is a stretch, as it lacks the necessary balance of macro and micronutrients required for a healthy diet. Furthermore, the price point for Calorie Mate is exorbitant considering the subpar quality it delivers. One would expect that for the cost, they would be getting a product that is at least palatable and nutritious, but sadly, this is not the case. It's clear that the company is more focused on marketing and convenience rather than the actual quality and value of their product. Overall, my experience with Calorie Mate was highly unsatisfactory. The unappetizing flavor, poor texture, questionable nutritional value, and high price point make it a product I would never recommend to anyone seeking a healthy, convenient meal replacement option. Save your money and opt for a more reputable and nourishing alternative instead.
