Meal Replacements ; Never Miss a Meal and Get all the Nutrients You Need

 

If you do not have time throughout the day to eat meal replacement supplements or MRP (Meal Replacement Powders) could be a viable option.  It is best to buy meal replacements that will help you achieve your fitness goals as well as satisfy your hunger.

 

Meal Replacements used to taste horrible and scared many off.  Today many of them taste great.  Always choose a meal replacement consistent with your goals.

 

Meal Replacement Powders (MRP)

 

 personal training san francisco bulletMyoplex Deluxe
When someone asks you what you're drinking tell them you are drinking a chicken breast, sweet potato and vegetables and taking a multivitamin, but it tastes just like chocolate vanilla or strawberry.  Myoplex has a great mix of nutrients, moderate complex carbs, essential fats and and 50 grams of protein.  You can't do any better than Myoplex deluxe, it also is very filling.  The only con is it is messy, you have to make in a shaker or blender.  Myoplex deluxe has around 350 Calories.
 personal training san francisco bulletMyoplex Light
Myoplex light is a stripped down version of myoplex deluxe.  It has only around 200 Calories and has less vitamins but it is still a great meal replacement especially for those who have a small appetite or are on a Calorie restricted diet.
  bulletMyoplex Light RTD (ready to drink)
Not the powder but pre-made myoplex light in cartons.  Tastes better than the powder, almost delicious!  Around 200 Calories with over 20g of protein.  The only negative is the cost is greater than the powder due to the weight of shipping.

MetRX may be the original powder.  It has been around as long as I can remember.

 

Meal Replacement Nutrition Bars

 

 personal training san francisco bulletCliff bars
I have been impressed with the taste and nutrition of Cliff Bars ever since they came out.  They have a great variety of flavors.  Each bar comes has around 250 Calories with a good amount of fiber, low fat and protein.  Definitely a viable option for in-between meals or before a workout.
 personal training san francisco bulletMetRx Big 100 bar
This 100 gram bar has over 300 Calories.  It also has 30 or more grams of MetRx metamyosyn protein depending on flavor.  If you are using these bars as meal replacements, they are good for satisfying your sweet tooth.

Myoplex deluxe bars have the best nutrition out of any of the meal replacement bars.  Unfortunately they do not taste as good as some other bars.  But if your like me and your #1 priority is optimal nutrition, Myoplex bars should be a part of your nutrition plan.
 personal trainer san francisco bulletMyoplex Light bars
Myoplex light bars are completely different from the Myoplex Deluxe bars.  They are made up of the rice crispy treat type of hybrid granola bar.  Hard to explain but when you taste them, they taste familiar.  Many of these types of bars taste the same.
 personal trainer san francisco bulletBalance Bar Trail mix
My favorite snack bars.  They are all different.  They have mixed nuts and seeds and crispy bits of rice.  There are a couple different flavors but I think the fruit & nut is the best.  Balance bars nutrition is based on the Zone or 40 : 30 : 30 diet principle.  The zone diet has been successful for many people.  40% carb 30%p rotein 30% fat

 

Pre-Exercise Meal Replacement Supplement

 

Having optimal energy for intense exercise depends largely on what you eat in 1-3 hours before your session.  If you have not eating prior to your workout it may be a good idea to get a supplement to supply you with nutrients so you don't crash or run out of energy during exercise.

 

Post-Exercise Supplement

 

Most liquid protein drinks are an option for post exercise with the hope your body will not catabolize or break down its own muscle.  The best option is to get a 4 or 6 : 1 carbohydrate : protein ratio shake, or bar, such as normal Power Bar Performance, which has 45 grams of carb and 10 grams of protein or about a 4:1 ratio!
