Meal planning can be tricky when you’re factoring in exercise.
Pre-Workout: I plan a meal or a snack containing starchy (or complex) carbohydrates and protein, that is lower in fat and fibre (since these take longer to digest). Wheat-based foods made with enriched flour, like bread or tortillas, are a source of lower-fibre carbohydrates, which are our bodies’ primary source of fuel during exercise. Enriched flour is also enriched and fortified withB-vitamins (folate, niacin, thiamin and riboflavin) and iron, which play an important role in energy metabolism
Post-Workout: Post-workout, it’s important to replenish our stores of glycogen (the storage form of carbohydrate) , repair muscles with protein, and choose antioxidant-rich foods to help moderate inflammation. Wheat-based foods are a great choice, as they contain carbohydrates, protein, a variety of vitamins and minerals, and bonus: fibre!

Greens powders are all the rage right now and being touted as a cure for bloating, etc. It seems like Influencer marketing is a reason for the hype around these products – but they’re so $$! Are they worth it?
Greens aren’t harmful but I do believe they are over-hyped. They are basically a multivitamin in my eyes. I do not believe that they should be a replacement for whole or minimally processed fruits and veg – which I’m afraid that sometimes they are!
Instead of paying $50-100 + for an unregulated greens powder, try making your own at home for a fraction of the price. The other advantage is that you know exactly what’s in it – which may not be the case for these other greens powders.
I’m willing to bet that you have less than 10 minutes to make breakfast most mornings – but you still probably want a filling and high protein breakfast. If that’s the case, check out these 3 new high protein breakfast ideas! Tell me which one you’re going to try first.
