Bodybuilders have long relied upon protein powders to insure they are getting high enough levels of amino acids that are necessary to build and repair muscle. Research has shown consuming protein powder everyday can boost immune system health, facilitate the healing of wounds after surgery or injury, and promote healthy skin, in addition to fostering muscle strength and development The Human body needs to be supplemented with daily protein since there is no way to store excess protein, and it is what muscle and tissue are composed. The need for adequate protein is second only to the need for water. Protein powders are an easy and convenient substitute for food sources of protein. They are generally made from five basic sources: whey, casein, egg, soy and rice. Each one has an appropriate time for usage depending on time it is to be taken, and purpose for using it. Combinations of these proteins are also common to derive all the benefits each one may offer. Even if you are not a bodybuilder or athlete, starting your day with a protein shake can stabilize your blood sugar levels throughout the day, making it easier to control bodyweight and food cravings.

Redcon 1 has released a whole food bar which tastes amazing and has some of the most unique ingredients ever used. Just when you didn't think MRE could get any better they upped their game with the MRE Bar. This real food bar will change your outlook on bars forever as the days of heavy sugar alcohols added to your bars are long gone. Just like with the powdered MRE, the bar contains only real food sources which won't upset your stomach or cause cramping. The Macros - A lot of bars on the shelf at the store have excess amounts of sugar ranging from 15g and even above 20g per bar! A snack or meal replacement that’s healthy limits your sugar intake and doesn’t bring it to excess. Not only that, there’s usually a ton of carbs and low protein or just a huge imbalance in the macro count with a messed-up nutrition panel. The MRE bar has a meager 6g of sugar with a healthy ratio 29g of carbohydrates and 20g of protein that’s balanced with 9g of fats. These macro counts are perfect to fuel your workout without a drastic insulin spike and perform at your best. Packing only 260 total calories per bar, it’s the perfect snack size meal while on the go, or pre-workout, that’s loaded with proper nutrition made from real food and won’t make you feel overfull. When eating a meal replacement, you should be eating real food. Just like MRE powder, MRE Bar is made from real food! A lot of bars have artificial main ingredients – who wants to eat ingredients that you can’t even pronounce the name of? Unlike the rest of the bars on the shelf, MRE Bar has ingredients like oats, salmon, chicken, eggs, brown rice and sweet potato. These ingredients give the MRE bar an amazing taste, unmatched flavor and the nutrition that gives you sustained energy throughout the day.

Instead, you have to get them from your diet or other exogenous sources. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, they are crucial in the synthesis of muscle growth and prevention of muscle catabolism as well as mental health.
