In this comprehensive comparison, we'll delve into the nitty-gritty details, dissecting the ingredients, taste, and overall value of both options.
Prepare to uncover the truth behind these meal replacement giants, and discover which one truly reigns supreme.
But, before we dive in, letβs get one thing out of the way and address what should be your top concernβ¦
How can this comparison be 100% honest?
First of all, you have to know that I'm the founder of LyfeFuel.
And as the author of this article and founder of LyfeFuel, itβs easy to assume there is a conflict of interest so you may be skepticalβ¦and rightfully so.
But that doesn't mean this is a biased comparison. Hereβs whyβ¦
Iβm simply presenting objective facts that everyone can see on the websites ofΒ LyfeFuelΒ and Ample. (Like ingredients, nutrition, price, etc.)
I know how difficult it can be to navigate the world of nutrition and I genuinely want to help you make the decision thatβs right for you.
Because just like thereβs no one-size-fits-all approach to diets and nutrition, the same applies to finding the nutrition shake that suits your individual needs and preferences.
With that out of the way, letβs get started!
When To Choose Ample (Ample Original) Over LyfeFuel (Daily Essentials)
If Youβre Trying To Gain Weightβ¦Choose Ample
Meal replacement shakes arenβt just for weight loss.
In fact, they are often used by bodybuilders and athletes to gain weight. As a former collegiate and NFL athlete, this is something I became intimately familiar with.
Sometimes, itβs just not possible to get enough calories and nutrients through food alone, especially when training at such a high level.
So, if youβre looking to gain weight, go for Ample.
If we break this down in more detail, youβll see that one scoop of Ample is roughly the same amount by volume as LyfeFuel. Ampleβs single scoop is 36 grams whereas LyfeFuel is 33 grams per scoop.
Hereβs a side-by-side comparison of the macros of LyfeFuel and Ample (soon weβll also analyze the nutrients and vitamins):
For the sake of getting an apples-to-apples comparison, weβll focus on one scoop of Ample Original vs. one scoop of LyfeFuelβs Essentials Shake.
As you can see Ample gives youΒ 7x the fat of LyfeFuel, 2x the calories, the same amount of carbs (6 grams) and 5 grams less protein.
If justΒ addingΒ bulkΒ is what youβre after, thenΒ AmpleΒ is the superior choice. However, if youβre looking to pack onΒ leanΒ muscleΒ thenΒ LyfeFuelΒ is the clear winner due to the higher amount of protein per serving.
If You Love Super Sweet Foodβ¦Choose Ample
Taste is subjective... but some patterns repeat themselves.
From a deep analysis of reviews, and personally trying both products, it turns out that Ample's taste is sweeter than LyfeFuel.Β
(Little anecdote: at first, Ample used to be so sweet⦠they reformulated the blend.)
Ample has a creamy texture and a rich flavor. People often say, βIt tastes like a mix of cinnamon and vanilla.β
On the other hand, LyfeFuel's reviews say,Β βIt tastes quite delicious. Itβs not overly sweet, nor does it contain the weird artificial taste of other shakes Iβve tried .β
When You Should Choose LyfeFuel Over Ample
If Your Goal Is To Maintain Or Lose Weight With Ease⦠Choose LyfeFuel
LyfeFuel has only 110 calories per serving⦠and has over 2x more protein than fats and carbs combined! This makes it a great option for keto and low carb dieters and especially beneficial for anyone looking to lose fat while maintaining lean muscle mass.
And since protein keeps you fuller for longer compared to carbs or fats...
LyfeFuel has pretty great satiating power...despite the low calories.
For us at LyfeFuel a βmealβ should be at least 3 things β nourishing, satiating, and delicious.
And the best part is the βVegan Protein Blendβ of LyfeFuel;
It uses complimentary protein sources from peas and rice to provide a complete source of protein with a PDCAAs of 1.0 (equivalent to what youβd find in animal protein like whey), making it the ideal choice for vegans and those looking for cleaner protein sources.
Ample, on the other hand, uses whey protein and egg white protein - two of the most highly processed forms of protein on the market, which I gave up a long time ago because they destroyed my gut and always left me feeling bloated and inflamed.
Inflammation is the root cause of weight gain and pretty much all chronic disease. So if losing weight and improving health is on your list of goals, youβll definitely want to choose LyfeFuel over Ample.
Ample lists sunflower oil as the 3rd ingredient, which is an ultra-processed industrial seed oil that wrecks your metabolism. Not something you want in your βhealthyβ nutrition shake, especially if the goal is weight loss.
If You Care About Complete Nutrition⦠LyfeFuel
Hereβs the biggest difference between Ample Original and LyfeFuelβs Essentials Shake..
One of them has many⦠many more vitamins and nutrients than the other.
Instead of listing every single nutrient, weβve simplified it for you to focus on a few key vitamins & minerals that most Americans are not getting through food.
Hereβs a comparison of some nutrients in Ample and LyfeFuel:
As you can see, LyfeFuel gives youΒ more than double the nutrients compared to Ample.
Moreover, LyfeFuel provides you with some special nutrients you cannot even find elsewhere (at least from my experience).
Here are some:
- COQ10β¦ to spark your metabolism and promote your skinβs health.
- Choline + B12β¦ to boost the health of your nervous system.
- Vitamin D3 + K2β¦ to enhance bone and heart health.
- And many more.
If You Want To Get The Most For Your Money⦠LyfeFuel
Take a look at the price of LyfeFuel (Daily Essentials) and Ample (Original):
How can LyfeFuel contain way more nutrients and cost almost half the price of Ample?
Itβs all thanks to our philosophy, βless is more.β
Indeed, one βservingβ ofΒ LyfeFuel is 33 grams, while Ampleβs is 72 grams.
And to keep things consistent and be fair, letβs go back to 1 Scoop of each product, which means weβll divide Amplesβ price by 2.
When we do that, you see that LyfeFuel is slightly more expensive per scoopΒ ($2.92)Β than AmpleΒ ($2.64). So if you just want the cheapest option then Ample is marginally better for your wallet.
But, if you want the best for your health and donβt mind paying a little more, then LyfeFuel is the way to go.
We (at LyfeFuel) use a gentle drying process to remove water from real whole foods⦠without destroying any of the critical nutrients they offer.
Thatβs why we are able to delete all the fluff from LyfeFuel Daily Essentials. Every single gram of LyfeFuel is vital to βLive Your Fullest Everyday.β
If You Crave Organic Superfoods⦠LyfeFuel
LyfeFuel Daily EssentialsΒ uses organic ingredients whenever possibleβ¦ and where itβs not, it usesΒ 100% natural ingredients.
Here are some of our personal Organic Fusions:
Super-Berry Blend.
Itβs a mix of 6 super berries (Strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, tart cherry, elderberry, cranberry). That gives your body powerful antioxidants to protect against stress and environmental toxins.
Longevity Blend.
A mix of Pomegranate, Grapeseed, and Co-Q10 to promote a longer, healthier life.
Metabolic & Weight Control Blend.
This blend helps you curb hunger, control cravings, and make your metabolism brisker. Itβs made from Canadian Yellow Peas, Sprouted Brown Rice, Sugar Beet, Flaxseed, and Inositol.
