But the label says "America's number 1 protein brand."
It's hard to beat the Costco/Kirkland stuff at 53c/oz, some isolate, 71.4%, with good taste and mixing. The ~80% Dymatize hydrolized on Woot at 52c/oz is a rare clear better.

Whey protein could be used in place of a snack or meal, very occasionally, but it wouldn't actually have the building blocks of nutrition you would get from meals. It's more of a targeted dose of protein that one might take for various reasons… such as wanting a boost of protein around the time of a workout, or wanting to get a boost in the total amount of protein they had in a given day.
Having said that, this product is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to whey protein. There's much better options for protein powder.
I would say you should take a closer look at the "why" behind what your question is getting at. If you're looking to dial in some of the randomness of life a protein powder might be a useful tool in your arsenal that allows you to, for example, throw a scoop in a shaker bottles into your gym bag that could be taken right after your workout to tide you over until your next meal.
Meal replacement products are very niche. There's a small subset of the population that might have a great benefit from utilizing them, but most people looking at improving their nutrition on the whole would be better off focusing their efforts on getting their nutritional base through solid foods/meals and incorporating more nutritional variety in that structure. Meal replacement products are largely a marketing gimmick. Again, there's some people who might benefit from them but more often than not the people I see using meal replacement shakes are not the ones for whom they are appropriate for. I've worked in the fitness industry for almost 20 years now, and the most important principles of fitness and nutrition are more correlated with the habits and behaviors you employ on the day to day, as opposed to a specific product that one can buy. Though the big players in the supplement industry would love to sell us the idea that we need their "meal replacement shakes" to be our healthiest, it's generally not going to even come close to the benefit one gets from dialing in their nutrition the old fashioned way, and getting those vital nutrients from solid foods.
