How to Eat Enough Calories When You’re On the Go
Category: General | Posted: 09-22-08
If you’re looking to build more muscle, or pack on the mass as some like to say, you’re going to have to eat a more calories than what you’re used to. For most of us, packing around a lot of extra food is not really that convenient, and may not even be possible.
So what can you do if you are in a situation where you won’t have access to extra food? Well, here are two ideas for you:
MRPs
MRP stand for Meal Replacement Product. These are a great way to get a meal when you’re on the go or just don’t have the time or space to consume a regular meal. You may have heard of some of the more popular MRP’s such as EAS Myoplex, Met-Rx Meal Replacement, and others.
Protein Powder
Protein powder supplements are another great way to get in a meal when it might seem hard to get one in. You can even just carry the powder around in a shaker cup and add the water later. And, if you want to add some carbs to make it a full meal try adding some Gatorade or Powerade powder to your protein. This makes a really easy and rather cheap meal. Just be careful of your flavor combinations between the protein and Gatorade!
In the end, using MRPs, protein powder supplements, and other bodybuilding supplements can help you get in the calories that you need. Spend time trying different flavors to see what you like the best and try different types of products to see what works the best for you and your situation.
