Review of the Top 5 Meal Replacement
Powders in the market.
By Bodybuilding Applied.com
Starting a new diet program is often exciting yet very difficult to stick to,
especially when most of us have hectic schedules & work full time jobs. 6 or
more meals per day can be very beneficial to your progress but more than often
is the reason that most people quit as soon as they begin. This is why we use
God send meal replacements! Meal replacement powders (MRPs) contain a balanced
amount or protein, carbs, fats, vitamins & minerals. They are very easy to mix
in a shaker and you have a perfect meal any time it is needed. Although they are
very convenient that doesn't mean they are better than natural foods! Nothing
can replace the effect natural foods have on our body's metabolism. Anyway, here
is my review of the top 5 MRPs currently in the market.
No 1: Without a doubt Myoplex Deluxe by EAS. Recently changed formula
provides more protein & a different source of carbs ie whole grains instead of
maltodextrin. Protein is at a whopping 53 grams along with 12 grams of muscle
repairing glutamine and 1 gram or CLA for increased fat metabolism/burning. This
serving size is mostly for guys but women can take it as well, as long as they
mix about 3/5 of the packet. 18 packets go for about $44 online.
No 2: AST Nytro pro. One of the best tasting powders in the market. With
40 grams of muscle building protein, 100% the RDA of vitamins & minerals and NAC
you simply can't go wrong. You also get 22 grams of slow-release, energy-rich
complex carbohydrates for sustained energy.
Perfect for people trying to lose body fat fast! It mixes easily with water or
skim milk. You can even have it for desert in a smooth pudding like consistency!
It also tastes great when mixed with fruit & oatmeal. 20 packets cost about $30
in most online stores.
No 3: Met-Rx Original. This MRP has been in the market for a long time
and has been proven to work for most people. It's original blend of milk, whey &
egg proteins is very hard to find among protein powders. It is very high in
glutamine and has no added sucrose or fructose. This baby packs 37 grams of
protein, 18 grams of carbs & only 2 grams of fat. One thing that is great about
Met-rx is that when mixed with water & ice, it tastes just like a regular
milkshake!! You won't believe it. Cost: About $28 for a box of 20.
No 4: Lean Body by Labrada. Another great tasting, muscle building
protein. With 45 grams of LeanPro, an exclusive blend of highest quality
proteins, including ion-exchanged whey protein, it's perfect for muscle building
or fat loss. This MRP's biggest advantage is it's low levels in sodium, only
200mg! The strawverry flavor is really delicious. Also, it has no hydrogenated
oil, salt, corn syrup or fructose. Costs about $34 for a packet of 20.
No 5: Last but not least is ISS Research's Advantage Matrix MRP. It packs
42 grams of the highest quality protein, 20 grams of carbs (including 4 grams of
fiber) and 4 grams of fat! It's specifically designed to assist fat loss with
fat burners, lipotropics and zero trans fatty acids. 20 packets cost around $25.
