Product Review: Chef Jay's Lite Bites

Have you ever had that sudden urge to binge in the evenings or late at night? Like you just wanna munch on some crackers or chips?

BUT, you're a gym rat or fitness junkie and you know damn well what junkfood will do to you. Just the thought of trans fat and our 1 gram daily limit is enough to turn you off and make you rather suffer the pangs of hunger.

Its a bleak picture I'm painting but it's true because it is a description of my own experience. If you feel me then this is going to be some good news to you. If you don't, hell... don't lie to yourself. Either that or you need to get your fat ass off the couch.

Anyway, the remedy for the aforementioned situation is this product: Chef Jay's Lite Bites and I'm not going to go all informercial on it.

Simply put, it's cookies with a healthy twist. High in protein and low in fat and sugar. Best of all, it tastes absolutely delicious.

Yes, that's the ultimate truth. Face it, we're all suckers for taste. Health products usually have the drawback that they taste like cardboard or chalk. But not this one and I ain't sugar coatin'.

Think about 14-18 grams of protein per serve and it's also certified Halal so that's some Halal protein source for those of the Muslim faith.

Product Review: Nutrabolics Iso-MRP

Tried Iso-MRP from the little known Nutrabolics. Quite a good brand really and coming from Canada, their products do feel a little different from the usual American stuff.

So I approached this one without any expectations. It's their answer to an MRP in the likes of Uni-Syn and Myoplex. However, the product is packaged in tubs instead of individual sachets. Perhaps there's better economy this way.


The powder's very fine and smells pretty good. That's a good indication of the taste that's to follow. Mixability, needless to say was easy and quick.


Check out my dandy MixMagic bottle!

OK, first impressions: It tastes exactly like VICO. Not Milo... but VICO, if you can tell the difference. Pleasant I must say and it made me want to take another gulp after downing one.

In terms of function as an MRP... I felt that it wasn't really satiating. Kinda felt more like a protein albeit a rich one. But with 36 grams of protein, complex organic carbs, EFAs, fibre and CLA, I ain't complaining. This is a pretty good supplement for a lean physique while staving off hunger and regulating appetite.

Product Review: LG Sciences BC+EAA

Here's one of the lesser known brands - LG Sciences... if I didn't know better I would have thought that the company sells tellies and refridgerators.

As with every other supplement company out there, they promise products which are straight to the point, effective and cost-effective. Three criteria that every savvy fitness buff genuinely cares about.

I eagerly tested out LG Sciences BC+EAA during one of my workouts. The sample came packaged in a bottle instead of an insulated paper packet.

Blue raspberry flavour. I've always been skeptical about this flavour for any supplement. It can really be a hit or miss depending on the brand's flavouring tech. A good example of a hit would be MHP's Dark Matter.

Unfortunately, I'll have to scratch LG Science's attempt as a miss. Not that it tastes awful... the flavour is there. It's just that the overall taste is too watered down in a 300-400ml dose. Benchmarked against Scivation's Xtend (which BTW released B.Rasp recently!) and I'm pretty sure where I stand about this product.

Not the kind of supp to sip while chilling out listening to Beach Boys' Kokomo or Barry Manilow's Copacabana, but it does get the job done as an intra-workout. The BCAAs, hydrolyzed EAAs and glutamine content keep catabolism at bay and promotes muscle development while training though the dosage could be a little low depending on body weight.

I honestly can swear by using BCAA + glutamine combination products during workout. I think that has attributed to most of my improvement so far.
