Tastes like freeze dried ice cream and will make my fitness friend happy

I've just started training again after recovering from an injury so I'm getting a higher protein to carb ratio for 6 weeks. I had a toffee pill at 2pm, 3pm and 4pm on the 3rd of this week and they stopped me from thinking about snacking (but I snack for the taste, not because I don't feel full). To me, they have the consistency of oily peppermints. Some. A little harder. Or very, very thick astronaut ice cream. At the end of those days of watching my nutrients, I still had room for carbs for bread and popcorn to hit my fiber goal without exceeding calories. Excellent! You CANNOT and SHOULD NOT use them as a permanent meal replacement or emergency diet. These are vitamins with some carbs, protein, and fat to keep you from being dangerously exhausted (and keep you from going insane) in an emergency. You have no potassium for your heart, and a daily intake is only 30 grams of carbohydrates, which is 100 grams less than an adult needs to not burn muscle to fuel your brain. (An adult brain needs about 130g of carbs per day to convert it to fresh glucose fast enough to function, otherwise your body will start digesting itself to use amino acids for gluconeogenesis, and you won't be able be thinking clearly while you wait.) These are emergency dietary supplements, not soylent in a pill. I wasn't planning on eating them this way every day, but it's nice to know they're there to keep my stats reasonably balanced when I go somewhere that serves cake. I'll probably put a backpack in my husband's kayaking gear as they are lightweight, take up little space and aren't prone to damage. My mom also wants to try some of the snacking considerations, so I'll have to get more to stock up on stockings. The main benefit of buying these emergency kits is that you can put a tub in your basement and forget about it for forty years. . You might want to add something like bars or trail mix with dried apricots or banana chips and switch between them before the expiration date if you're looking for a complete nutritional profile. The beauty is that they give you something to look forward to during every hour of extreme stress, but if that's not a problem for you, you can just use a bottle of multivitamins. Instead of.
