Shakeology - You're Thinking the Wrong Way

When I talk to someone about fitness, how I've lost over 40 pounds, workouts and then get to Shakeology, the remark I hear most often is, "That's too expensive!" It does cost a bit more than Ensure or some other protein shake or health drink.

But you're thinking about it all wrong! You are not adding something new to the mix, you are replacing a meal! Allow me to paint a picture:

Shakeology is 150 calories of 70+ all natural, healthy ingredients, chock full of superfoods and nutrients. You get:

• 1g Fat
• 17g Carbs
• 18g Protein

And the cost is around $4 per serving.

Lets say now that you go to McDonalds and get a Big Mac, Large Fries and a Chocolate shake (well...that's what I would get :)) You get:

Big Mac

• 540 calories
• 29g Fat
• 45g Carbs
• 25g Protein

Large Fries

• 500 calories
• 25g Fat
• 63g Carbs
• 6g Protein

Chocolate Milk Shake

• 440 calories
• 10g Fat
• 76g Carbs
• 10g Protein

So for that one meal you've had:

• 1480 calories
• 64g Fat
• 184g Carbs
• 41g Protein

IN ONE MEAL!! Not to mention the fact that there've been reports recently that McDonald's washes its hamberger meat with some kind of amonia compound to keep it fresh! And you've probably paid about $9 for all this.

So by my calculations you could of had 150 filling, healthy calories and saved $5 or had almost 1500 calories of an insanely bad for you breakdown of fat and carbs. And if you're going to McDonalds or Burger King or Wendy's several times a week...how can you afford NOT to get Shakeology.
