Top 6 Nutritional Supplements: Meal Replacement Powders (MRPs)

Meal Replacement Powders (MRPs)

* Meal replacement powders (MRPs): Commonly known as the “protein shake”, MRPs serve not only as a convenient protein (see proteins article) supplement, but as a substitute for regular meal with all the appropriate vitamins and minerals. While real food is always best, the busy schedules of most people simply cannot accommodate the optimal 5-6 meals per day-MRPs are a great way to stay on the diet in spite of the most hectic of schedules. There are many brands commercially available with different nutrient profiles; choose the product that tastes good and provides the nutrient profile that fits for your particular diet plan.

* How use MRPs: A good general strategy is to eat three regular food meals/day in addition to two MRPs. In the even that a meal may be missed, it is often handy to keep another around just in case. NOTE: MRPs, although extremely convenient arestill supplements. Be sure to eat three whole-food meals/day !
