Default Minimum calories to take with Metformin
With Metformin, the instruction is to take it "with food." How much food? Could something bad happen if you don't eat enough when taking it?

I think it will just upset your stomach if taken without food....that's been my experience. If I forget to take it with dinner (or breakfast) I'll just have a small snack like a light string cheese or a couple bites of yogurt and take the metformin at the same time.

I often take mine without food. ****. I'm lucky I remember it at all half the time.
