A convenient snack to support your appetite and diet goals High in protein for lean muscle definition Key ingredients to support fat metabolism
THE POWER OF PROTEIN The benefits of consuming protein during a hypocaloric diet are well known, for example protein can help to control appetite by increasing satiety (feelings of fullness) (Westerterp-Plantenga et al, 2012). An optimal protein diet also has a higher thermogenic effect, put simply, this means that the digestion, transportation and storage of protein cost the body more calories when compared to the metabolism ‘cost’ of carbohydrate and fat (Halton and Hu, 2004). Many individuals focus too heavily on reducing total calories for weight loss, without considering a healthy balance of nutrients, by specifically including an optimal protein intake, when doing so. Since lean muscle tissue is made up of protein, meeting individual needs for protein can also help to reduce the loss of muscle and thus help to maintain a higher, more effective metabolic rate supporting fat loss goals during training as well as at rest (Westerterp-Plantenga et al, 2012).
A unique high protein bar to support your lean definition goals Promax Lean bar is a convenient and tasty bar that contains 23g of high quality protein and only 207 calories, whilst also providing the key ingredients caffeine, L-carnitine and green tea to support individuals in meeting their lean definition goals during a fat loss diet.
Active individuals who are looking to lose body fat and develop lean muscle should consume between 1-2g of protein, dependent on training and goal, for example, an active 80kg man needs 80 - 160g (Kreider et al, 2010). Since convenient high protein snacks are sometimes hard to find, Promax lean Meal bars can help individuals meet these guidelines.
L-CARNITINE L-Carnitine is a non essential amino acid which is naturally produced in the body and can also be obtained through the consumption of meat and dairy products. L-Carnitine is essential for energy production and fat metabolism, specifically L-Carnitine is responsible for transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria; the powerhouses of the cell to be used to produce energy. Recent research has shown a glycogen sparing effect during low intensity exercise and an improvement in performance which is consistent with and further supports L-Carnitine’s role in the preferential use of fats for energy.
