PROTEIN POWER MOVES Eat your protein first. This will make sure you take in the AAs that drive MPS, and it will help you feel full sooner. Before you attend an event offering unhealthy food, drink a 20-gram protein shake. Replace salty, crunchy snack foods with Carnivore Crisps or other protein chips. Balance a low-protein meal by throwing a packet of AAs into your water. This can help activate your muscle metabolism and lower a spike in blood sugar.6
