MRP

A MRP is also known as a meal replacement. An MRP is for exactly what it sounds; it is used to replace a meal. Meal replacements are designed to give the proper amount of calories, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrate, etc; without most of the “bad” stuff we find in many quick meals. MRP’s are made to be very convenient and fast and are found in a variety of ways.

You can find meal replacement in:
• Powders
• Bars
• Pre-Made Drinks
• Or Even Pastes

In most cases the powder MRPs have the best nutritional profile. They are often higher in protein (30 – 50 grams), lower in carbohydrates (especially sugar), and have about 50% of your daily vitamins in them. MRP bars are usually lower in protein (13 – 30 grams) and higher in carbohydrates and sugar. Pre-Made Drink MRPs are available a variety of different ways. Some are designed to be low carb and others are higher in sugar. You will often find anywhere from 20 – 35 grams of protein per drink.

MRP’s are used by athletes to help achieve their nutrition and muscle building goals by allowing the person the opportunity to eat a good healthy meal, usually in between meals to help:

• Fight Hunger
• Boost Energy Levels
• Nourish the Body for Muscle Growth

Research shows that eating a balanced diet six times a day throughout the day will boost metabolism (to help lose body fat) and feed our muscles (to grow bigger and stronger). Eating six or seven times a day can be very time consuming and even unpractical for most people who have full-time jobs or who are busy during the day. Meal replacements for that reason are ideal.
