Athlete Fuel- First experience

SuperBodyFuel Discussion

Hey r/Soylent! I'm an amateur MMA fighter who works and trains full time. I work 8-5 M-F and train 6-10 M-F, and random hours during the weekend. I'm 4-0 as an amateur and am aiming to go pro by the end of this year. I had a shoulder injury that kept me out for almost 6 months, and I gained about 25lbs (160 to 185lbs). I was looking for something quick and easy to eat/drink during my busy schedule while still getting the nutrition I needed as I lost weight to prepare to go pro.

Taste

First off, the taste is great! I got the Vanilla, Chocolate, and Cinnamon flavors (I got 4 subscriptions). I've never been a fan of any of the flavors you get from the protein powders and BCAAs, but I actually genuinely enjoy drinking the Athlete Fuel!

Satiety

I've been mixing my Athlete Fuel with 3/4 cups of milk and the rest with water until it reaches a consistency I like. I stay sipping on it and does a great job of keeping me full. I started sipping my first meal this morning at about 10am and finished it by 11. I was at the gym from 10:30am - 1pm for various workouts: hitting the bag, Jiu Jitsu sparring, and wrestling practice. I'm sitting at home now at 1:20, and I'm not hungry at all! Normally I'm starving after a few hours of training.

Energy Levels

I've always been a huge coffee drinker. I'd drink two cups in the morning and one before heading out to practice. I've only begun drinking Athlete Fuel since yesterday morning, but my energy levels are even better than drinking coffee! I usually tend to feel pretty shitty after a couple of hours of training, but for the past few days, I've had PLENTY of energy for before, during, and after training! I'm able to train harder and consistently push the pace.

TL;DR Conclusion

Tastes great, I feel full, and I have so much energy to train harder.

u/axcho, you have a great product! Definitely have made a fan out of me.
