Are you constantly on the go, rushing around without a healthy, satisfying meal on the horizon? Are you ready to meet your mornings head on and kick a little ass early in the day? Or do you need a protein that’s reliable, accessible and able to help you hit your gains goals? No matter what you need, or what you want to achieve, Performance Inspired has a protein product to help you out.
Here’s a quick and easy rundown of the three Performance Inspired Nutrition protein products and how you can incorporate them into your routine to get the most out of your nutrition and your workouts.
Ripped Whey Protein To Get Your Morning Started
Ripped Whey protein is the easiest, natural way to kick your day off on the right foot. Just not right away, per the Washington Post. Contrary to what you may have heard, rising, shining and guzzling a venti cold brew is not the most effective way to get your caffeine. Using information from a 2009 study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, the report cited above claims that waiting a few hours after waking up before drinking coffee can make your caffeine work better.
The reason for delaying your first caffeine is that when you wake up, your natural level of cortisol, sometimes called the stress hormone, is elevated. The issue with enjoying your morning caffeine jolt while your cortisol is spiked it that the caffeine can actually throw off the natural ebbs and flows of your cortisol level. By interfering in this way, your body relies on the caffeine to fill cortisol’s natural role in wakefulness. This can lead to a higher caffeine tolerance.
According to the report, the best times of day to get your caffeine fix are between about 10 a.m. and noon and again between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Cortisol levels are naturally lower at those times. A few hours after you’ve woken up is the perfect time for Ripped Whey Protein powder. Ripped contains 70 milligrams of caffeine sourced from green tea, which is exactly what you need once that natural cortisol declines. The 25 grams of protein Ripped sports is also going to keep you fuller longer, carrying you through to the next meal.
Inspired Bar For On The Go Meal Replacement
Sometimes you don’t know when or where that next meal is going to take place. That’s where Inspired Bars come in handy. Inspired Bars come in three fantastic flavors and are built to be portable, natural sources of high-quality protein. That protein – especially when your day is unpredictable – can be the difference between making it to your next planned meal and hitting the vending machine for some Hostess cupcakes.
Protein keeps you feeling satisfied for longer than other foods. A study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics confirmed what we’ve always anecdotally known to be true: protein fills you up and keeps you feeling full longer.
“A good deal of evidence suggests that protein activates satiety hormone release and so should be most strongly tied with fullness ratings,” lead researcher Richard D. Mattes, M.P.H., Ph.D., R.D. told Men’s Fitness,” but individual studies are often conducted in small populations or with different approaches that can make interpretation of results challenging.” His solution? “Our study combined multiple experiments to confirm the presence of an effect.”
The last thing you want when you’re out and about is a meal replacement that’s going to fail you and leave you wanting more. Inspired Bars have 20 grams of protein to carry you through your day, plus 20 grams of fiber, which can also keep you feeling full on fewer calories. Brownie Chocolate Blast, Cookies N’ Cream Extreme and Peanut Butter Chocolate Thunder Inspired Bars taste amazing and contain nutrition that lasts.
Performance Whey To Get Your Protein Anytime
Performance Whey Protein powder is the easiest, best tasting way to get your protein any time of day. Performance Whey does not have the caffeine that Ripped has, so there are no limits on the optimum times to take it. And, even though protein powder is super portable, it requires a bit more preparation than an Inspired Bar. Basically, Performance Whey Protein powder is the perfect go-to protein supplement for any time you’ve planned for protein.
Performance Whey is particularly well suited to help you hit your post-workout protein needs. Guzzling a delicious protein shake right after you finish up at the gym can help enhance the effects of your hard work on the weights and make your recovery even easier.
“The primary goal post-workout should be to provide your body with an immediate fuel source to prevent it from breaking down muscle tissue for energy,” according to Nate Miyaki, nutrition specialist and the author of the Intermittent Feast, in an article for Men’s Fitness.
For this reason, pairing your protein with a source of carbs or fiber, like the 5 grams of fiber in Performance Whey, is best. The fiber and carbs are going to spare your body from consuming its own muscle for energy and the protein will help repair your hard worked muscle and encourage it to increase.
Using a protein supplement to boost your nutrition is a no brainer. Choosing which one meets your specific needs at any particular moment can require a bit more thought. No matter what your nutrition demands, Performance Inspired products have you covered. Now all you need to do is choose a delicious flavor and get ready to see the best results you ever thought possible.
