Interesting. Is that all you eat in a day? It looks like the lowest carb flavor is unsweetened and unflavored at 65g net for the daily 5x meals/servings (assuming there are no sugar alcohols, which they don't list on the label). That's pretty close to my maximum but definitely doable if I'm active. I could see doing 2 servings or half a day's worth and then continuing with the old eggs, avocados, and meat. Wouldn't be crazy to do vegetarian with something like that. I love the idea - have a vegan keto book too, and let's just say it's hit or miss at best.

Yep, eventually I combine it with - as you say - the standard eggs/avocados/meat.
It varies though and I use keto-sticks to check what level I'm at. And like you say, depends on daily activity.
I'm not a fan of vegan food in general (hard to get tasty), Huel is what I can tolerate.

I get on pretty well with Huel, pro-tip, get used to the unflavoured unsweetened version, it's dull like porridge but not unpleasant, if you are going for every day, there's no flavour to get bored of. Also, while the idea of throwing a shot of espresso in there seems appealing and maybe a time saver, no...

As a breakfast replacement, well over 12 months, I would not try it as a 100% food replacement.

I've tried it, but I couldn't handle the cardboard flavor, their flavor mixes are very good and I think that's part of why they're so popular.

You can ask in their forum https://discuss.huel.com/, they usually respond quickly

as far as I know, the only real sources of it is from animal, even when you buy it as a supplement, so unless they have something very unusual, I would think it either is lacking essential vitamins, or cannot be vegan

I don't know what D12 is (and I haven't been able to find anything from some online searches), but you can find the sources of their vitamins (and other components) in https://eu.huel.com/pages/about-the-vitamins-minerals-in-hue...
If you're talking about B12, they use Cyanocobalamin which is produced by bacterias - Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanocobalamin#Production.
I'm able to sustain keto when using Huel Black (17% carbs), but your mileage may vary.
And Huel is both vegan and sustainable.
