MRP vs Protein Drink Question...

[Brandon101]

Hey Everyone, quick question....

Right now I'm cutting and am drinking a protein shake for 3 of my meals and was wondering if it would be benefitical for me to get a MRP powder? Or would it be fine to just continue to drink a protein shake and eat something with it like below?

I'm just not sure if there is more of a benefit to having a MRP for my meal instead of a protein shake...


Example Meals

Meal 1:

Egg Whites, Toast

Meal 2:
(Post Workout)

Protein Shake
Granola Bar

Meal 3:

Chicken Breast
Rice
Broccoli

Meal 4:

Protein Shake
Banana

Meal 5:

Chicken Breast
Rice
Artichoke

Meal 6 (Before Bed):

Protein Shake

Thanks for any replies..

I'm sure most people on here would prefer you eat whole food as opposed to drinking so many shakes. But, to answer your question, a good quality MRP (complex carbs, fiber, healthy fats) is superior than just downing a whey shake with a banana. The MRP has a spread of vitamins and minerals that you won't get with the whey shake.

Of course $$$ comes into play. You are probably fine to stick with what your doing and just makes sure you take a multi-vitamin and other minerals with your whole meals.

Good luck with your diet.

Thanks for the input, Only reason I drink so many shakes is to get my daily protein intake..1 after workout, then 2 more throughout the day. Anyways thanks for answering the question...Repped
