Yes, every single Medifast packet EXCEPT for the Medifast salad dressing, the Medifast crackers and the Medifast Fast Soup are complete meal replacements.
One packet = one meal.
We eat one packet at a time, every two to three hours.
Sorry. Nope. MF Soup & MF shake = TWO complete meals. That's like having two big macs at one sitting.
I don't know if you mean that you had BOTH Oatmeal and a shake or if you had the shake for mid morning snack...but if you had both for breakfast, tomorrow you'll know how to do it.
That's good. 1 shake packet = one complete meal. Good job!
Just the soup is fine until you get the Medifast Crackers. And when you get them, you may have one packet per day. You could have some diet pop, if you drink it or tea, coffee, Crystal Light, etc.
That's fine to have bouillon for a snack but you will need an afternoon complete meal - so have a packet of something in the afternoon. Bouillon and a packet of something will be fine to have together, if needed, as the bouilon is not a complete meal.
Sounds good. Weigh the meat and measure the veggies. Do not have anything else.
[quote} then my evening snack maybe another shake or bar. Is this a good plan ? [/quote]
A shake is fine but bars are best to have earlier in the day.
We recommend that a person does not use a bar for breakfast and not in the evening because they are higher in calories and carbs than any of the other meal packets.
Nope, it looks like you are getting along, just space the packets and the Lean and Green at two to three hour intervals.
Great - that'll do it!
Can someone tell me are shakes considered a meal ?

Can you have lets say a MF soup and shake together for a lunch?

I plan on having chicken noodle for lunch, I don't have the crackers yet. Is there anything else you could have or just the soup?
