Shakes are also great if it's a plant.

base shake, you need to make sure it has at least two and a half grams of leucine, or you need to augment.

It should be in there.

You want to supplement all the branched genes because they deplete.

So if you just use one, then it doesn't totally work.

You deplete the others.

But again, remember when I told you about looking at the label at the very end, it just says protein, but protein is much more than that one line.

It's 20 amino acids.

And we must account for those nine essential that we need.

A branched chain amino acid added to, say, a plant-based shake is doable.

If it hasn't been corrected for those amino acids, a whey protein shake.

A protein bar, typically those are a little lower in protein, but there are great bars that hit at least 30 grams.

And also remember the quality of protein matters.

A plant-based protein has lower amounts of those essential amino acids.

So the way in which you overcome that is you may need a bar and a half, as long as your calories can manage that.

Is it?

I work with a company called First Form.

Oh yeah, Andy's great.

Yeah.

Amazing company.
