he moves from a Muscle Meals meal-replacement packet to
P ro-Fusion protein as his between-real-food-meals feedings.
Here’s how those two protein supplements compare:

Muscle Meals meal replacement (1 packet in water)

324 calories, 12 grams carbs, 40 grams of protein

Pro-Fusion protein powder (2 scoops in water)

220 calories, 6 grams carbs, 45 grams protein

When he goes from one packet of Muscle Meals to Pro -
Fusion, he reduces his calories by more than 100. Plus, he cuts
his carb grams in half and actually increases his protein by five
grams for that meal. He usually makes that reduction at one
meal, holds that calorie total for two to three weeks, then
makes the switch at his other powder-based meal. Once again,
i t ’s gradual calorie reductions that work best, not massive
calorie slashes. It takes patience!
All of that isn’t meant to imply that carbs are bad. On the

your muscles with the glycogen they need to contract hard to
stimulate muscle growth; however, you have to remember that
getting just enough to replenish glycogen shortfalls is the key.
