Gonna jump on here to give a personal account of my BE experiences.
Just after the pandemic hit I began working at Tesco to gain extra $ and this is where I began making the most use out of Black Edition
My routine (of pandemic shoppers madness!) lasted from March 26th 2020 - 1st September (until things calmed down haha)
Week : Monday - Friday: 6am - 2pm. Total 40 hours a week
Steps : 20,000 steps a day x 5 = 100,000 steps a week
Daily Diet
5.30am: Coffee
10am: Huel Black + fruit on mid-morning break. Coffee.
2pm: Home. Calisthenics Lockdown garage workout
4pm: Huel Black + Fruit
8pm: An overall balanced meal. Plenty of veggies, pulses, quinoa, meat alternatives (I’m plant based) and suitable amount of healthy fats.
As you can see I had Huel for breaky and post-workout meal. Then I had a standard evening meal. It was a great way for me to hit my targets as I wanted to test myself and get as lean as possible (I love a challenge!!!)
The results I found were great for me and Black Edition is a super great product to use. The lower carbs gives you a bit more room to play with, so it means you can add simple carbs, like berries or banana, to your post-workout and not worry too much. So yes I would recommend!! (I do have pics of the results but I’ll keep them to myself for everyone else’s sake lol)
I think what I have written above answers this! Of course Huel alone didn’t help me gain lean muscle mass though it definitely contributed.
As Dan has linked a useful read for you I won’t interject too much.
All I will say is that if you’re just looking to tone your muscles, as opposed to real muscle mass gain (from the sounds of it doesn’t sound like you are) then I’d experiment.
Try first to have your two meals + a post-workout Huel as your third meal. If that’s not quite right for you, then you can add an appropriate sized meal as your 4th meal. Better to start with less then you can tailor it more easily.
Hope that helps to have a personal account here. Let me know what you think. Cheers and have fun!!
