Power Up with Protein
Power Up with Protein
Fuel your body more effectively, and get the most from your workoutsDo you ever feel you're slogging through your workouts, barely able to complete what you've planned, and anxious to hit the showers? Or maybe you've wondered how you might take the next step, fuel your body more effectively, and get the most "bang for your buck" from your workouts. Either way, a great place to start is with the basics, and one of the most basic nutrients for optimal athletic performance is protein.The A, B, Cs of protein and performance
Muscles are made of protein, so it's no surprise that protein is vital to enhancing their performance. Knowing what type, how much, and when to fit protein into your daily routine is the key to getting the most from this important nutrient.
Protein particulars
"Wheying" your options
For repairing hardworking muscles after a cardio or resistance training ("weight lifting") workout, nothing beats whey protein. Whey comes from dairy and allows your muscles to refuel effectively. Whey protein is found in powder form and comes in a variety of flavors, making it easy to incorporate into your diet. It can be stirred into yogurt, added to a smoothie, or mixed vigorously with water or another liquid in a lidded container.
The body best absorbs protein when eaten in amounts ranging from 15 to 30 grams in a single meal or snack. Unless you're a serious body-builder, there's no benefit to eating more than 30 grams of protein at one time.
Whey protein makes its way into muscles most efficiently when taken immediately after a workout, ideally within 30 minutes. Eating whey with carbohydrates promotes the movement of the protein from your bloodstream into your muscles as well. Aim for a ratio of 1 gram of protein for every 2 to 4 grams of carbohydrate.
As an example, combine whey powder to provide about 15 grams of protein in a blender with a banana, ice, and water. A large banana adds around 30 grams of carbohydrate and most whey powders contain a bit of carbohydrate as well. This gives you a finished smoothie with 2 to 3 grams of carbohydrate for every gram of protein-an ideal ratio.
HMB power
Amino acids are needed to build the various proteins used in the growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues. Hydroxy-methyl butyrate, or HMB, is a breakdown product of leucine, of of the essential amino acids that are used as building blocks of protein. Studies have shown that HMB can improve strength and help the body maintain muscle mass. Ideally, HMB is used in conjunction with strength training to obtain the most benefit; it is not used to improve cardiovascular athletic performance.
Our bodies can make some HMB, but it isn't found in significant amounts in most foods, so taking a supplement is the best way to get enough HMB to enhance a resistance training routine.
The optimal amount of HMB is about 3 grams per day, but there isn't agreement on when to take it for best benefit. In order to avoid having HMB "compete" for absorption with whey protein, try taking this supplement in the morning, at bedtime, or about 15 to 30 minutes before a workout.
Final protein pointers
Be sure you're eating a good quality, well-balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes (beans), and whole grains. Without these essential foods, all the whey protein and HMB in the world isn't going to do you any good. Think about creating a nutrient network in your body; they don't work well in isolation.
Also keep in mind that while whey and HMB are considered safe for most people, there are some who should not use these supplements, including people with impaired kidney or liver function. If you have questions about whether whey and HMB are safe for you, ask your doctor or pharmacist for guidance.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ 25 - Chocolate Peanut Butter:
I was really unhappy about the Lean 25 shakes. I bought a few different kinds to try and none of them were that great. The chocolate I would say is the best tasting but I was hungry an hour after drinking the shake. The chocolate peanut butter left a horrible taste in my mouth too. Planned on returning them but my return time ran out.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ 25 - Chocolate Peanut Butter:
I was skeptical about using these shakes, usually protein/meal replacement shakes are disgusting to me... The chocolate peanut butter flavor is DELICIOUS!! I was shocked how good it tasted, and how easily it goes down. I mix mine with 1% milk & a scoop and a half and its just the right consistency.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ 25 - Chocolate Peanut Butter:
Nastiest tasting, foulest smelling flavor I could ever, EVER imagine. Tried with water, Silk (white and chocolate), 1% (white and chocolate), nada. Just absolutely disgusting. Exchanged today for banana - hoping that's better. The shake itself though is amazing. Great meal replacement and energy boost. I use it for midday meals. Just don't waste your money and effort on this revolting flavor.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ 25 - Chocolate Peanut Butter:
I was using Ideal Shake for breakfast and lunch but I wanted to try this brand as it was a little cheaper. I'm sorry I did. I don't like the flavor. It also doesn't hold me for more than 1 hour whereas the Ideal Shape works for 4 hours. Won't buy it again.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ 25 - Chocolate Peanut Butter:
I normally like vanilla flavored products and dislike anything chocolate. But chocolate peanut butter is perfect! I add a tbsp of PB2 and sometimes sub water w/ low fat chocolate soy milk. Now the French vanilla is disgusting! I can barely choke it down. I had to mix it with chocolate peanut butter or the berry flavor until it was gone.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ 25 - Chocolate Peanut Butter:
I got this a few weeks ago and still love it! It's not too heavy (you know how some protein blends are just thick and heavy and permeating?), and it has a nice mild flavor that you can enhance or tone down, depending on your preference!
My favorite use of it is post-workout, both after cardio and ESPECIALLY after strength training! It's also a great energy boost for first thing in the morning, or a meal replacement any time.
Here's the mix I do:
- 2 scoops Total Lean PB Chocolate
- 4 oz almond milk (I like Silk)
- 4 oz water
- 1/2 tsp Dash o'Flax (also at GNC)
- about 1/2 cup ice
Blend well and enjoy! You can also add all sorts of stuff to it - fruit, yogurt, nut butters, anything you like! It's not too strong a taste, so it can take on the flavors of other things you add; at the same time, it's not so mild that you don't taste it.
I find it much better than a lot of the premade shakes on the market and other protein blends. I'm not really a fan of protein shakes, but I've grown to love this!Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ 25 - Chocolate Peanut Butter:
Does not taste like PB, just a weak chocolate. BUT, it's great with a scoop of banana lean shake 25!

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ 25 - Chocolate Peanut Butter:
I use these shakes to replace breakfast because I get sick with whole foods early in the morning. I usually drink the ideal shape brand, but thought I would try GNC's version since its more convenient (plus they have way more flavors!). I have to say that the chocolate peanut butter flavor is probably the best I've had so far... brand aside. If you like just plain chocolate, youll probably like this chocolate peanut butter. I also think its hunger blockers are just as good as the idea shape shake i was using before. I would definitely but this again.
