Depending on how you utilize it Ensure can be a part of a weight loss plan. It is one of the recommendations made by my doctor and nutritionist as a non lactose item for my pre surgery liquid diet. It has 190-250 calories and 9-12g protein depending on variety of flavor and function (hi protein, fiber, calcium etc) and 6-8 g of fat. Slim fast generally has 180-220 calories, 3-5g fat and 9-10g protein but has lactose which is an issue for me.
