I agree with @Metalmuehle and @Kae, just offer one additional product (e.g. 1000kcal) in one flavour (e.g. vanilla or perhaps the neutal flavour people have been asking for) and let people mix it however they want with the other PlennyShakes, or blended with other foods. It should still meet the same RDA as one packet of PlennyShake, but with less Calories.
You could even hold a naming contest in line with Plenny and Twenny. BlennyShake* for blending? SkennyShake* on the skim side? Or just HalfplennyShake, since a halfpenny is a thing.
Quite a few of us Iām sure are taking less PlennyShake than we should because we donāt burn 2100 kcal a day.
*If the āennyā part isnāt crucial then BlendyShake and SkinnyShake may sound nicer
@isabel did you get any feedback from the food technologist, or the rest of the team who have an impact in this?
Iāve been cutting heavily lately and losing weight, but even before that I could never finish a whole bag in a day. I think there are a lot of potential customers who want to eat healthily but sparsely, or want to have normal food in-between, and canāt because JJ only targets 2100kcal.
@pseudonymous Yes, we are taking it in consideration! We planned a temporary (at least for starters, maybe permanent if its a hit) version which is low on calories, canāt say when, but somewhere in 2018 .
Same here. Not trying to loose weight, but my appetite is very low in the mornings. I cannot tolerate a full JJ serving in the morning, while I have no problem at lunch and/or dinner time. Ultimately, there might be many reasons why people would want to use less powder, and it would indeed be nice if there was a version with less powder/calories, but the same nutritional content.
Glad to know the JJ staff is working on a low-calory version already!
What happened to this thread? Iāve lost weight recently, my calorie requirement has dropped, and now my calories requirement is below that of all plenny products and so the whole product line is off the menu.
Plenny active is lower carb but still presumes the same need of calories.
Hey @teknopaul, what is your current calorie intake per day? Our suggested meal size (and actual size of bar and drink) are 400kcal, which is relatively small so they can fit in almost any diet. The shakes are the most flexible as 1 scoop = 200kcal so you can easily go for a really small or bigger meal. I think itās easiest to look at daily intake and then decide what % you want to take out of Plenny products.

Sorry to say that but you are taking it the wrong way
If you loose weight with 2100 kcal per day then you absolutely have to increase your exercise
2100 is low especially if you are overweighted
I personally am āleanā (13% body fat) and I loose weight when eating < 2500 ā¦ but I move a lot. It is important for your health, probably way more than temporarily not eating enough micronutrients
