I think it would be beneficial to have an option to change the macros for carbs/fat/protein. Personally, I prefer to have a 20/40/40 split where fat/protein are each around 40% of the daily macros.
You could always add some vegan protein powder and some kind of fat, like flax, to get the ratios you want. Or add a separate meal with more fat and protein so your total daily macros are what you want.
Adding the protein powder is a great idea… it’s so simple too lol I should have probably thought of that.
adding natural peanut butter (a lot of fat and some protein) will also do this. I tip a little walnut or sunflower oil into my huel to increase the fat content sometimes.
I’m going to do the protein powder and then take a look at the fat content in fish oil to see if it’s enough to bring up the macros to my desired ratios.
Thanks for the tips though!
I used to try to make all kinds of high protein snacks because I was trying to get more protein in my diet. I experimented with muffins and cookies made with chickpea flour and protein powders, and I could never get anything that I really liked. Finally, my son said “why don’t you just have 1 regular cookie, and have a protein shake with it”. It was the same kind of “wow, why didn’t I think of that” moment.
Haha yea. Sometimes it takes a third party to point out something we would think is common sense
The only issue will be the taste factor. Most fish oil is consumed in capsules to hide the taste. To me, nut oils, sunflower oil, coconut oil, and the fat/oil from peanut butter or cashew butter is better tasting with Huel than fish oil.
Oh yea, I would take it in pill form if the pills were enough. Right now I’m adding 300 calories worth of protein, we’ll start with that and see how it goes.
