Diet plays a crucial role in any training regime. I’d say the majority of people I know who gym it up will chug down a protein shake or two when they are training.
A current favourite shake combo is as follows:
- Promax (MaxiMuscle) Strawberry – 1.5 scoops
- 80 gs of porridge oats.
- Small hand full of frozen summer berries.
- Skimmed milk (2/3rds of a pint)
- Blend…
- Enjoy!!!
Total cost to your pocket:
- £1.68 – Promax
- £0.16 – Porridge
- £0.42 – Frozen berries
- £0.28 – Skimmed milk
Total cost of: £2.54
Total cost to your body:
- Promax = 180 calories + 3g fat + 34.5g protein
- Porridge = 300 calories + 20% daily fibre + 6g of fat + 7.8g of protein
- Berries = 35 calories + 16% daily fibre + 0.4g fat+ 0.7g of protein
- Milk = 179 calories + 4.14g fat + 14.4g protein
Total = 694 calories + 36% daily fibre + 13.54g fat+ 57.4g of protein
So not too bad all in all. I’ve named this shake “Fruity Fibre Shake”. One of these after a gym session always helps.
