NEW Training Table Fuel Options

Some new ideas on fueling up!

Your Training Table could use a good shaking up especially if you have fallen into a nutritional rut. Here are a few new products I've been adding to my list of high power and protein foods for working out and post workout recovery:

Muuna Cottage Cheese + Fruit

Muuna Cottage Cheese gives you a serious 16 gms of protein per 5.3 oz cup. It is really delicious and a healthier change from highly sweetened "fruit on the bottom" yogurt. Pineapple, Mango, Blueberry, Strawberry are all served up with 2% milk fat cottage cheese with a creamy mouth feel and only 130 calories. A good source of calcium too. These single serves make it easy to grab and go or pack for your trip to the gym. Check them out at MUUNA.com

The Movement Away From "Clean Eating"

The quest to "Eat Clean" may be sabotaging your success.

I recently came across a blog post from a personal trainer who was going on about why he doesn't eat clean and why you shouldn't either. Of course I was more than a little surprised to hear that but considering the source, (the man is in phenomenal shape), he may have a point. Here are some things to consider about "eating clean".

"Eating Clean" May be Code for an Eating Disorder
You know the type. At every get together they announce, "Oh I'm now gluten free, sugar free, meat free...." Every time you see them, some other food group has been entirely dropped from their menu. What may really be going on is a full blown eating disorder where only a very narrow selection of foods are considered "safe". Dropping entire food groups means that you will need to either eat something else to make up the lost nutrients or at the very least supplement to avoid dietary deficiencies.
