HIGH PROTEINS DIET – MICHELBRU OFFER

If you choose to order a High Protein Box, our promise is as follows:

  • Our High Protein meals contain ≥50 g protein. 
  • How we set our standard for protein in grams: Average caloric needs are 2000 calories a day and Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution for protein is 10-35% of total daily calories.1 Recent high protein diet review studies covering cardiovascular health, weight loss and maintenance, muscle mass, and wound healing define high protein as up to 30% of total caloric intake, 1.2-1.6 g /kg/day (or more), and 25-70 grams per meal.1–8 We also took into consideration the body’s metabolic response to protein intake. The human body uses the amino acids in protein foods and the amino acids from the normal recycling of body proteins to make body proteins (e.g., muscle, antibodies for the immune system, digestive enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, eye proteins, hair proteins, and many more.)9  Our bodies then take excess protein from the foods we eat to burn as fuel if we need fuel, store as fuel for later if our stores are not full, and/or excrete it in urine, feces, sweat, and mucus from the nose, breath, and semen.10 We can also convert excess protein from food into body fat.10 

Our protein standard calculation: Thirty percent of an average 2000 calorie diet is 600 calories. Dividing 600 calories by 4 calories per gram for protein gives us 150 g and dividing 150 g by 3 meals a day we get 50 grams protein per meal.

  • Our food is ALL processed in our kitchen and we ONLY buy & cook raw materials. We DO NOT use processed foods.
  • We provide Full Nutrition Facts, on our website for every meal.
  • For your 5 meals, you can choose the ingredients of your choice (meats, ingredients, starches …)

FITNESS DIET – MICHELBRU OFFER

If you choose to order a Fitness Box, our promise is as follows:

  • Our Fitness meals contain extra protein and carbohydrates. Our standards are ≥50 grams of protein and 108≥ grams of carbohydrate per meal. 
  • How we set the provision standards for carbohydrates and protein in grams:

Average caloric needs are 2000 calories a day and Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution for protein is 10-35% of total daily calories and 45-65% for carbohydrates.1 Note that the macronutrient category of carbohydrates includes more than just grains (e.g., rice, pasta, bread, crackers, and more); vegetables, fruits, dairy, and sweets are also carbohydrates. Recent research found an extra provision of protein (i.e., 1.2-1.6 g /kg/day or more) together with an extra provision of carbohydrates (i.e., 3-12 g/kg/day) enhanced athletic performance, time to exhaustion, and muscle protein synthesis in athletes.2–6 Extra provisions of protein and carbohydrates may also be indicated pre- and post-surgery for maintenance of muscle mass and optimal wound healing.7,8 

Our protein standard calculation: Thirty percent of an average 2000 calorie a day diet is 600 calories. Dividing 600 calories by 4 calories per gram for protein gives us 150 g and dividing 150 g by 3 meals a day we get 50 grams protein per meal. 

Our carbohydrates standard calculation: Sixty five percent of an average 2000 calorie a day diet is 1300 calories. Dividing 1300 calories by 4 calories per gram for carbohydrates gives us 325 g and dividing 325 g by 3 meals a day we get 108 grams carbohydrates per meal.

  • Our food is ALL processed in our kitchen and we ONLY buy & cook raw materials. We DO NOT use processed foods.
  • We provide Full Nutrition Facts, on our website for every meal.
  • For your 5 meals, you can choose the ingredients of your choice (meats, ingredients, starches …)
