MET-Rx - Winter 2012

MET-Rx® NUTRITION
Increased lean muscle mass: To ac- complish this, you will need to focus on increasing lean protein, moderat- ing fat, eliminating alcohol and in general increase clean starchy sources of carbohydrates (rice, pota- toes, whole grain pasta etc.). This increase in clean carbohydrates will provide necessary energy to your muscles for hard training, and will protect your muscles from being broken down and used as energy). Protein intake of 20-40 or more grams per meal is a key principle in supplying enough protein for mus- cular growth. If you don’t have time to be mixing shakes, the RTD 51 is the perfect supplement to get all the protein you need. With 51 grams of protein, and only 2 grams of sugar and carbohydrates (depending on the flavor), it is the perfect way to supply your muscles with the pro- tein they need.*
High energy levels with good mus- cle tone: Knowing that energy is primarily supplied by carbohydrates and fats, it will be important to moder- ate them accordingly in your diet. Because your muscle structure is pri- marily from protein, you’ll want to keep your protein levels at the moder- ate to high level. Choosing whole grains and slower releasing carbohy- drates like whole oatmeal, rye bread and sweet potatoes will give you a steady, slower release of carbohy- drates throughout the day. MET-Rx® Protein Plus bars fit well into this goal. They supply 32g of protein, around 300 calories and only have 1 gram of fast releasing sugar. (Depending on flavor.) Round out your eating with lean sources of protein like tuna, chicken breast and flank steak to keep your protein high, and fats low.
