Protein Meal Replacement
During recent years, I’ve found more people have become aware of what they are putting into their bodies and how it can change their entire lifestyle to be aware of their health. Nowadays, people are more likely to want to go to the gym and care most of all about the various foods they are eating. They want to eat at home more than going out, and if they have kids they want to start their kids eating healthy. I feel this is a great thing. However, so many of us work long hours and cooking all our meals, especially after a full day of work, can be nearly impossible. This is why so many of us turn to meal and protein meal replacements to fill our bodies with nutrients when we don’t have time.
The difference between meal replacement shakes and protein shakes
Even though they are both meal replacements, there are large differences between these two types of replacement shakes, especially when it comes to calorie content. Meal replacement shakes have been designed and made to replace one or two of your daily meals. They have been made primarily for weight loss, and to maintain your current weight. They give you essential nutrients while being low in carbs, and also having a low-calorie content. A protein meal replacement, however (also known as a protein shake), is made for one purpose: to give you protein. It contains hardly any carbs, fats, or essential nutrients, and has hardly any calories. Protein shakes are not designed to replace a meal, but are designed to boost your bodies’ protein level, especially after an intense workout.
How to get the best meal replacement that Is full of protein
For the best form of weight loss by using meal replacements, here is what you need to follow:
- Only have your meal replacement shake twice a day for one meal and one snack (do not cut out real food completely)
- Must contain at least 200 calories and be well balanced with protein, carbs, fibre, and the essential vitamins your body needs
- Use the shake for the meal that you have the most trouble with (if you hate mornings and don’t have time, use it for breakfast, instead of grabbing a doughnut with your coffee)
- Only use when you need to: If one day you have little time, use it then, but if on another day you have time, don’t have any
- Rather than having a meal replacement, sometimes eat only fruits and vegetables as a snack with a strong protein shake
- To keep a steady weight loss, ensure your actual meals also have a lot of nutrition and are well balanced
