Why meal replacement supplements?
Preparing a balanced meal with plenty of protein and enough carbohydrates takes time. For someone who has a busy schedule, sometimes fitting in time to prepare a meal and finding time to workout is not an option.
Meal replacement supplements (MRS) are basically designed to replace some meals with a balance of protein and carbohydrates. Taking meal replacement supplements mean that bodybuilders can get the nutrition and muscle building proteins they need without putting on too much excess weight. These supplements either come in protein powder or protein bar form so while the former is generally cheaper, the latter is more convenient since there is no preparation involved.
Advantages
- Convenience
- Saves time
- Cost - comparitively low cost per meal
Disadvantages
- Can't tailor the meal to your specific needs
Types of meal replacement supplements
Meal replacement types vary depending on your goals. Before choosing a meal replacement supplement you need to examine your current goals. If you're trying to gain weight then you'll need a weight gain MRS while if you're trying to lose weight you'll need one specially tailored to being low calorie.
Weight Gain - There are a few weight gain meal replacements out there. These are tailored to have the right blend of proteins, carbohydrates, nutrients and healthy fats with a good amount of calories to help you overcome your fast metabolism and create a calorie surplus.
Weight Loss - Weight loss meal replacement supplements contain the right amount of protein, carbs and nutrients without giving you too many calories in your body. These are great for those on a calorie restrictive diet but who need enough protein and carbs to perform workouts and build muscle.
