According to the latest researches, the ideal meal should consist the highest possible amount of protein content, while at the same time lower amount of carbohydrates. The body needs proteins for creation process and regeneration process of muscle tissue. Body also uses proteins to create enzymes and hormones that drive a number of chemical reactions in organism. Thanks to proteins, organism also creates hemoglobin, which is a carrier of oxygen in the blood. A protein can be composed of more than twenty different types of amino acids. Nine of them must be taken from food, as the body, unlike the others amino acids, cannot create them on its own.

- between two meals - For some people, protein shake can be a solution to control the need to overeat and munch when lunch is over and dinner is still far away.
- instead of food - If you don't have time to cook or you want to lose some calories, you can replace one meal with a protein shake. However, remember that protein shakes cannot replace a varied diet in term of long run.

If you start exercising with low protein levels, it will take much longer for the body to regenerate after training. Before you start exercising, your body will appreciate the protein shake containing casein and carbohydrates.
