While cutting, your best bet is to avoid liquid calories like the plague.

Generally speaking, liquids are NOT very satiating (filling).

So, while you may be able to nail your diet from a numbers standpoint for a period of time while keeping liquid calories around, this is unlikely to persist.

​Eventually, the lack of satiety will catch up to you, your adherence will crater, and that'll be that!

Do yourself a favor and derive the VAST majority/if not ALL of your calories from actual food.
