Has anybody here used Huel whilst following a comprehensive gym routine? I spend roughly 2 hours a day at the gym combining cardio with moderate lifting, would i need to massively substitute? Would i have to continue on the protein shakes or is there enough in this?
If theres been any similar forum posts feel free to link me as i’m a retard on forum searching.
Thanks
Matt

Hi @Matt_Ryder8840,
Huel provides everything you need, carbs, fats, and protein.
Per 2000 cals there is 150g of protein and the amino acid profile is good, so you won’t need protein shake. [http://huel.com/pages/nutritional-information-and-ingredients#amino](http://huel.com/pages/nutritional-information-and-ingredients#amino)

I’m doing up to 4 hours a day gym work (post-surgery physio, and I’m a competitive taekwondo athlete so getting back into form). Huel enabled me to replace the half dozen or so pre- and post-workout supplements I used previously, for a single food source. The results so far have been better than expected - higher quality of sleep, no hunger pangs, meeting all my micro/macro requirements, maintaining my body weight (essential for my sport) and reducing body fat.
