Convenience is key when it comes to sticking to an eating plan to reach any fitness goal. What’s faster than fast food? Food that’s already in your bag, desk, and car that not only tastes good, but supports your calorie and macronutrient goals.
Whether you’re shedding body fat, building muscle or simply trying to maintain muscle mass and a healthy metabolism as you age, protein is the most important of the three macronutrients. High quality protein not only supplies all the necessary building blocks (amino acids) of muscle, but it also has other critical functions:
- Suppresses hunger and helps manage cravings
- Burns more calories to digest compared to carbs and fats, aiding in fat loss
- Is needed by the immune system
- Is used to make hormones, enzymes and messenger molecules
- Supports recovery
High quality protein sources such as animal products, soy and pea protein contain all the essential amino acids that the body doesn’t make. Of these, whey protein is the highest quality.
To ensure you’re getting enough protein, aim for 0.7 to 1.0 grams per pound of your body weight daily. If you know your body fat percentage, aim for 1.0 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass. dotFIT Fast Fitness Foods provide between 15 and 25 grams per serving of high-quality protein.
Big portions and underestimating the calories in food are two of the biggest mistakes people make when it comes to losing fat or managing a healthy body weight. This is one of the reasons you see the calorie count on menus. When it comes to Fast Fitness Foods, there’s no guessing. It’s instant portion control – no overeating and no sabotaging your weight loss efforts.
Pre-Workout Fuel & Post Workout Recovery
The right ratio of carbs, protein and fat make up the perfect pre workout meal or snack. Too little carbs can lead to low energy and subpar workouts. Too much fat and calories can give you an upset stomach and feeling sluggish. Too little protein can compromise muscle growth and recovery. dotFIT Fast Fitness Foods start with an ideal ratio of macronutrients that can be easily tailored to meet your exact needs so you can get the most out of every workout.
Budget Friendly
Consider a typical fast-food meal or a Starbucks run. How much do you spend? Is it the right number of calories? Does it have enough protein to help meet your daily needs? Does it have good carbs and good fats in the proper ratios? At approximately two to three bucks per shake or bar, dotFIT provides not only a budget friendly meal or snack, but one that helps you stay on track with your goals.
