Protein Powders have come a LONG way in the 6 years since I last used them to loose alot of weight pre-wedding! Here's some of what she listed a benefits of using it, as a FYI for you-
- "Protein powder can incorporate protein into any meal in place of traditional eggs and meats. It also offers a range of other dietary and lifestyle pluses- great for those picky eaters in the family!
- It slashes fat: Powder adds protein to a meal without adding the saturated fat that’s found in most animal products.
- It’s convenient: I know I’m supposed to consume protein after a workout, but I rarely have time to roast a chicken. (And presliced deli meat? No thanks.) Add some powder to a cup of milk or water, or even into a bowl of cereal, to get those protein grams in. A scoop of powder is a lot easier (and less fragrant) to carry to the office, gym, and back than assorted meats or hard-boiled eggs are.
- It’s a healthy snack: Instead of eating the chips, crackers, or cookies lying around your office, try flavored protein powder to satisfy your midday sweet cravings for less than two hundred calories—as well as pack in some vitamins and nutrients.
- It makes meat-free options more interesting: For those lacto-ovo vegetarians out there, protein powder can add a little spice to the usual eggs-milk-and-cheese routine.
- It makes your workouts worthwhile: When you choose to lift weights at the gym instead of going home and plopping onto the couch for a reality-TV marathon, you’ve got to make it count. “Having protein within a half hour of finishing your workout is crucial,” says Sandra Morrison, a Los Angeles–based nutritionist. It repairs muscle tissues and replenishes energy, leaving you stronger than when you started."
