Each serving of Nutrimeal provides 15 grams of soy, whey and other proteins. (French Vanilla Nutrimeal contains all 15 grams of protein as soy).

Nutrimeal contains numerous soy phytonutrients, which may help support a healthy immune system. It also has guaranteed levels of soy isoflavones, which have antioxidant effects that may help maintain bone health and moderate natural hormone cycles. Whey protein, which is also easily digestible, is an excellent source of amino acids essential for building a healthy body.

It’s a great piece of technology that adds new possibilities for tracking fitness!
In depth product description:
Nike+ shoes feature a built-in pocket under the insole specially engineered for the Nike + iPod sensor. For seamless, stylish integration, add Nike+ apparel that holds your iPod nano and receiver. The Sport Kit allows your Nike+ shoe to talk to your iPod nano. The sensor uses a sensitive accelerometer to measure your activity, then wirelessly transfers this data to the receiver on your iPod nano.
Hit the ground running with workout-based voice feedback, Nike Sport Music content, and an iPod nano that stays in tune with every step. With a sensor in your shoe and a receiver on your iPod nano, your run takes on a whole new dimension. See the minutes tick by. Watch the miles unfold. Hear real-time feedback. All to your favorite music — including the one song that always gets you through the home stretch.
Depending on the type of workout you choose from the Nike + iPod menu, a counter displays your time, distance, or calories burned. If you’re running a time-based workout, for example, your elapsed time appears in this position, so you get at-a-glance feedback on your primary workout goal. In addition to the primary information, your nano displays several pieces of secondary information. Toward the top, you’ll see the song currently playing. At the bottom, you’ll see additional information — including time, distance, and pace — that varies according to your choice of workout.
