UNPOPULAR OPINION: protein powder is not a meal substitute.\u2063
\u2063
Look, I know how you got here:\u2063
>> you know you need to eat more protein to build lean muscle so you started supplementing\u2063
>> of all the macros, you consider protein the healthiest option over a carb- or fat-heavy one\u2063
>> there\u2019s just no time to make or pack a meal – it\u2019s too easy to grab powder and shake on the go \u2063
>> if you can hack your appetite now and delay eating a real meal, you\u2019ll lose more weight \u2063
\u2063
But does ANYONE actually like shaking up a chalky powder in water and sucking it down? Even if you like the taste and don\u2019t mind the texture – how do you feel about your post-shake breath?<\/p>

Ok sure, there’s a time and a place to rely on a quick protein powder + water combo, but if you’re the type to lean on the option more often than not – you might find yourself dragging and wrestling with hangry cravings later!\u00a0<\/p>

Picture this: protein powder as the start of a PFC balanced meal <\/b>that actually fills you up and satisfies you. It supports macro (and micro) needs so you can feel and perform your best – as soon as this afternoon. \u2063

Yes, the difference between <150 calories from JUST protein or 300+ calories from a mix of macros is enough to alter the course of your entire day. Meals should lead to full, satisfied, stable and energized. I know I’ve got no time for hangry (or stale whey protein breath).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
