Hey there everybody! We know that last week we brought you tips and tricks on how to stay active, so this week we thought we would bring you tips and tricks for meals that will boost your physical activity performance and create a healthier lifestyle. We hope you enjoy all of these options and please send us in ideas if you have any to be featured on the website!
The first thing we will be talking about is a pre-game or pre workout snack that is practically a game changer. The snack is comprised of small bowl of Greek yogurt and a cliff bar. This snack provides your body with lots of protein for your exercise and it is all easily digestible which makes it the perfect pre-game snack. Athlete Nutrition journal suggest that this pre-game snack should be eaten roughly 45-60 minutes before activity to allow for digestion and you’ll be ready to go! Let us know what you think of this one! Check out more of their meals here: https://www.mensjournal.com/sports/athlete-nutrition-best-foods-eat-game-and-when-eat-them/
The next thing that we wanted to bring to the table, is a full meal that can add a lot to your day as a whole. This is a simple option that is both nutritional and easy to cook as a student at home. It is a chicken breast and quinoa salad. Chicken has fat and protein and quinoa has carbs and protein which make for a great meal. Also, having those greens with the quinoa can’t hurt! This meal takes roughly 20 minutes to fully prepare depending on how complex you choose to make your salad, but it’s up to you! Throw your chicken in the oven and do schoolwork while waiting, take it out stir your salad and you’re good to go! Enjoy
The last food tip that we wanted to give is a post-workout/exercise snack that helps your body recover after physical activity. Well actually, it is more than just one snack. Our three favourite post-workout snacks are as follows: a protein fruit smoothie, avocado toast, and then crackers with hummus and or cheese. Each one of these options offers great nutritional value and helps your body recover after any physical activity. It is important to fill yourself after a workout because your body needs to recover and eating helps your body regroup and perform even better for next time. If you have any questions or tips for post-workout snacks or meals please send them in to be featured!
We hope you enjoyed reading through all of these options and that they help you guys out moving forward! #GetOutThere
