What’s up, muscles?! I see you over there in the gym, sweating it out day in and day out.
Whether you’ve been working out for 50 years or 5 days, you’re dedicated. You’re determined. And you may want a few ideas to throw into your meal plans to help further your process. Check out my favorite recipes for fit foodies.
I consider myself an athlete. I lift weights, enjoy HIIT and plyometrics, run, horseback ride, and I’m beginning to establish a yoga practice. I am an athlete, so I like to eat like one. For me, this means eating meals that are high in protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and vegetables. Below you’ll find a few of my Fit Foodie Favorites that I hope will aid you on your physical journey. There are PLENTY of others on the blog, but I hope these get you off to a great start!
