Meal Replacement: Insights
READ MOREWhy use meal replacements?
Meal replacements help to replenish your body when you need key nutrients to keep going, whether you on an all-day adventure, or looking for a quick meal on the go.
- Macronutrient content: Meal replacement products should provide a balanced mix of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Endurance athletes typically have high carbohydrate needs, so it is important to choose products that are high in carbohydrates. However, it is also important to include some protein and fat in meal replacement products to promote muscle recovery and satiety.
- Micronutrient content: Meal replacement products should also be a good source of essential vitamins and minerals. Endurance athletes are at risk for certain nutrient deficiencies, such as iron and vitamin D, so it is important to choose products that are fortified with these and other essential nutrients.
- Digestibility: Meal replacement products should be easy to digest, especially for athletes who are using them before or during training and competition. Look for products that are low in fiber and contain easily digestible ingredients.
