Forget meal replacement shakes. Meal replacement cookie is the real thing! You can have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each cookie contains exactly the amount of protein that is required to maximize muscle protein synthesis. Carbs and fat are kept reasonably low, so that you can even have it on a cutting diet.
