Liquid calories are not recommended for either the regular program or the MWL program. It is especially important in the MWL program as liquid calories are one of the leading contributors to the passive overconsumption of calories. Calorie density does not apply as it is only applied to solid foods. Calorie density is also only one of the factors that The MWL program is based on.
Also, if you are using dry rolled oats, they are also not recommended for MWL as they are very calorie dense. We recommend cooked oatmeal, which has a very low calorie density.
