Replacing your meal with a sports shake before taking Latuda may be the solution, but it's important to make sure the shake is getting the right amount of nutrients. Latuda is indeed absorbed better in the presence of food, so it is crucial that the meal is filling enough.
I also encourage you to consult your doctor or dietician to assess whether such a change is safe and effective in this case.
