As good as Muscle Chef ?
way cheaper?
Not as good, no. But pretty good for the price.
Better than muscle chef imo.
Core is the only one that has a decent amount of vegetables in them.
Love these meals. Very tasty. Great value
40 grams of protein in a meal, eh.
Haven't they shown that up to 20g maximum in one sitting is going to be anabolically available (maybe a bit more in the elderly because protein synthesis is less efficient) and then the surplus is just used as energy, ultimately storage (i.e. adipose tissue) if you're in calorie surplus?
I've always seen ~40g as the max to go for in a meal. Hasn't done me wrong yet
Fair enough.
I think I'd give preference to redirecting those 20g of protein per meal (330 kJ) to a bit more nutrition diversity, especially vegetables, or just sparing some of the calories and hitting the max a lot leaner. But I prefer lean muscle over bulk, personally, and prioritise long-term vascular disease risk reduction.
If you eat it slow enough, your body can digest the first 20g before eating the next 20g
Split meals, genius. Hope you're still meeting your other macros..
Yep. These meals are crap. Loaded with carbs
Eat eggs insteadI just feel like you can hit your macros in a more free form, nutritiously diverse, and cheaper way.
I'd rather grab different types of fish, sometimes lean chicken, and go to town with a truck load of vegetable and salad and some fruit. I'm sure to hit 20g protein, get all sorts of different micronutrient variety, get there leaner, get there cheaper (depending on what ingredients I indulge in), and have something different for the palate a lot of the time.
Agree. It's better to have diversity and balance. But you should be wary of packaged foods
carbs are actually essential in efficiently building muscle. these meals aren't actually too bad in the instance where you don't have the time to cook and still want a meal with decent macros
Yes I agree. Carbs are not bad as such. I am against the marketing here. It's carbs being sold as protein. You can do better meals in a short time with natural ingredients. Check out eddie abbew on insta. I got to understand a lot of that thru him. He's a former body builder
No
Yeah I just heard this stuff chatted about on podcasts, originally, and they refer to studies for data and evidence like this one 🤷🏼♂️
At least the physiology makes sense for why there would be a natural upper limit. It's like if you got your daily intake to 100% protein, a lot of it's going to be used for functions other than muscle anabolism, obviously (primarily energy expenditure).
this is a myth with no conclusive study to suggest this.
I found it very interesting when I heard it explained, I hadn't considered it before. It makes sense physiologically, and I looked through a couple studies just on a search to see where people where citing their evidence. It's nice to know, kinda reinforces the balance concept of most things in health 🤷🏼♂️
"We offer a delivery fee of $9.95 for orders over $150". Shame I don't have a bigger freezer to buy that much.
Do these meals still come with included salmonella?
I think you're safe, it doesn't look like they offer Salmon.
These are great always buy heaps when on sale at coles. Smokey Mountain meatball is probably the best one!
Shipping kills this deal a little as its $20 for 20x delivered so its more like $7 per meal. (Coles discounted is $7.50? ) If I recall)
So $0.50 cents cheaper than coles , but more options to choose form and delivered to your door.
EDIT: A -$20 referral voucher works out a couple of dollars cheaper than the BF code if you can be bothered with a couple of extra steps.
