Any athlete who has researched nutrition at all knows that a hard-training athlete needs about 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight daily to support muscle gain (1). For a 200-pound athlete, that translates into 300 or more grams of protein a day! Do you have any idea how much food that is? Try 8 1/2 cans of tuna, 7 1/2 chicken breasts or 75 egg whites! And if you're even heavier or an endurance athlete, the amounts can go up even further. Trying to eat this much protein every day, while necessary, can be not only a chore, but awful darn expensive.

Parrillo Hi-Protein Powder is made from high-biological value proteins, but contains none of the fats and cholesterol found in meats and dairy products. Hi-Protein Powder is a very useful tool for dialing in you body's optimal insulin/glucagon ratio. The levels of these hormones determine whether what you eat is burned for energy or stored as fat (2,3). They are controlled largely by the ratio of carbohydrates to protein in the diet. Studies have shown that when more than 60 percent of the diet consists of carbs, more of them will be stored as body fat (4).

Hi-Protein Powder can be used in several ways to give you your optimum levels of protein. It can be stirred into food to make up for a meal with insufficient protein. You can use it in the morning in your oatmeal if you're tired of trying to swallow egg whites at 6 a.m. Or it can be taken during and after workouts to get protein into your system when it needs it most (5). Because a couple of chicken breasts isn't really what you want after that last set or final mile.
