Meal replacements?

[Reid232]

Are meal replacements a good way to subsitute a meal your time is limited sometimes?

Also, what are some good meal replacements and where is a good place to purchase them? Most of the local stores around here sell them, but man are the high $$$!

Yes I use meal replacements sometimes due to my job and the fact that I cant always go to the resto (time is short sometimes). Good brands ? Sports One Rx, available in both 5 lbs bucket or just the 70 g bottle. It carries creatine. Unlike Weider Rx.

Thanks Manny for the response. I have the same problem, my "job", it makes getting all those meals hard sometimes.

MetRx, MyoPlex, etc... are all good names. Try a few different brands to see if you have any stomach problems. Or which ever taste the best.

I personally make my own MPR. This way you can play with the % of pro and carbs as well as cals. This does require making your MRPs at home the night before.

Got a good easy recipe? I'm interested, need something high calories, but not a whole lot of carbs.

Do you use a powdered protein in your homemade shake? If so, how do you keep it stable overnight?

Beverly International

Beverly's "Ultra Size" in my opinion is the best MRP on the market.

I use egg and whey for the protein. You can use carb powder, oatmeal, fresh fruit, etc for your carbs (I prefer carb powder just for easy of mixing).

I never premix any of my shakes. I will put my protein and carb powder in a shaker cup then add water when I'm ready for my meal. I blend the rest at home/work as needed. I have my own grocery store at work...sweet

You can add Nat peanut butter or any other EFAs for extra cals if you’re on the CRUM diet or just staying away from carbs (for U Reid232).

Another plus is that you can add dextrose for a great post workout shake (but I recommend separating dextrose and protein for post recovery). This allows you to purchase 3-4 different products (proteins, complex carb powder, and dextrose) and be able to really play with your body by the different mixes of the products!

There are no really recipes: I might throw in some cinnamon, vanilla favoring, skim milk, chocolate pudding mix, etc...Depending if I'm cutting or bulking.
