I can't argue with that. We'll say "well balanced" and "nutritious" and "effective".
8oz of ensure blended with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream, +/- some Hershey's syrup helps it go down easier.
This reminds me of one of the presentations at SOMA this year regarding SOF nutrition. The presenter (I believe she was a dietician that had worked with NAVSPECWARCOM) said that once problem she had seen was operators on deployment taking in too many of the high-calorie supplements like the Gatorade shakes, and they were gaining unwanted weight. Contributing to this was the decreased activity level compared with stateside training, where the increased caloric intake balanced with a lot more PT.
