Goals: MRP for Weight Loss / Healthy Living

**job561** · 01-30-2009, 09:31 AM

Hey all,

I'm trying to design an MRP that can be easily incorporated into the Zone Diet plan and into my military-focused lifestyle.

42 years young ... weigh about 195 ... want to cut another 10-15lbs and get bf under 10%. My workouts are Crossfit-centered and I have decided to follow a diet that approximates the Zone principles (proteins 30-35% of cals, Carbs 30-40% of cals, fats 25-35% of cals).

I have initially designed an MRP that consists of the following:

30% Whey Lite
15% Super Plasma
15% Whole Organic Egg
40% Oatmuscle

FIT42 and the site have convinced me to center my MRP around this protein type. I have also included the Super Plasma for it's immunity-boosting functions (I rarely catch illnesses that have plagued my unit) and the Whole Organic Egg for it's egg protein and testosterone-friendly egg fat.

I like the oatmuscle as it is Alex's lowest GI carb.

I didn't include Omega Muscle in the mix I already take Fish Oil twice a day (5g in the AM and PM).

Suggestions or comments?

is whey lite avaible in the custom protein?

Whey Lite is now known as Lean Whey on the site (within the protein section) ... neither Whey Lite nor Lean Whey are currently listed on the site's Protein Customer / Lab.

I called today and asked if I could use Lean Whey in a customized formula ... I was told that I could (hence I went ahead and made my order).

I would STILL, however, like people's comments and opinions on my formula, and any changes and suggestions to make it better.

It looks great to me, I wouldn't change a think. And I think it would actually taste pretty good too.

Thanks FIT42 ... I will let you know how it tastes when it is delivered!

so how does it taste?

I made a custom MRP once with 15% Super and could barely drink it! Had to mask it with berries and stevia....to much work for me! lol

I just received the PF Low Carb and PF MRP yesterday and started today. I have already had one MRP and one low carb....impressed with how full it makes me! Three hours in between. Got choc. flavor with no sweetener and it tastes good, and the best part...just add water

that is a pretty good looking MRP formula.

i read a few articles here and there saying high GL carb dont contribute to fat gain, nor high fat diets. but i would use oatmuscle in this formula as well.

What branch and MOS? You said unit so I am assuming Army. MRE's are horrible for weight management, but are pretty anabolic in their own right. I put on 10 lean pounds before in a month eating extra meat portions and throwing away the pound cake.

I just spent 7ish years in the Army as an Infantryman. Do you have your 20 year letter?

Hey Cowin!

Actually I am Air Force ... it will be 18 years in this July! AFSC (MOS) deals with Intel.

The MRE combo I mixed up is used in conjunction with real food ... I like real eating to much to totally give it up!

So far the fat loss battle is progressing slowly but surely ... my immediate goal is to lose another 8 lbs and see where I stand ... I don't want to lose any more than 13 more however.

As for how much the whey light is contributing ... I am at a loss. The weight is coming off, however I am unsure how much can be contributed to the whey light. The taste is ok ... a little thin for my tastes ... I guess I got used to the settled Omega Muscle in my Blender Bottle!
