]]>Spinach
This green vegetable is great at not only boosting your strength but defending your body against harm. Filled with zinc and fiber, spinach helps to detoxify your body and balance your metabolism. Due to containing a high level of antioxidants, spinach will help to decrease muscle soreness and improve recovery after your workout. There are also plenty of recipes that include spinach, from pasta to curry.
Salmon
Protein is an essential part of any bodybuilder or gymgoer’s diet. There is perhaps no healthier source of protein than fish such as salmon. This fish possesses anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids that will reduce post-workout muscle soreness while the protein itself will help to build muscle during your workout.
Chickpeas
Containing both protein and carbohydrates, chickpeas prove beneficial both during and after your workout. They contain a high amount of iron that will help to improve your oxygen flow as well as endurance and overall performance.

]]>Nuts
A hearty source of fats, proteins, and other nutrients, nuts can provide you with a major energy boost before a workout. Pair them with some dried fruits for a healthy dose of carbohydrates as well.
Bananas
Filled with potassium and magnesium, bananas provide you with a beneficial mix of proteins and carbohydrates. If you’re looking for more of a taste sensation, consider making a banana health shake with raisins, dates, and mixed nuts.
Whole Grain Cereals
High in fiber, whole grain cereals are not just delicious but a rich source of carbohydrates. What’s more, this starchy snack slows down the rate at which you release energy, thereby boosting your endurance.

]]>It Saves Time
By creating a routine around your breakfast, you can save a significant amount of time in the morning. All you need is to make sure you always have the ingredients ready and you’ll speed up the process the more you repeat it, and even do it without thinking after a while. This means you can make your breakfast before waking up completely and you don’t have to make any decisions first thing in the morning.
Better Nutrition
Focusing on nutrition instead of getting creative with flavors for breakfast will allow you to fuel your body with healthy foods without a second thought.
Helps Lose Weight
By having a routine, you can focus on the number of calories and what sources they come from, which can help you lose weight in the long run. A good breakfast will also keep you full and prevent snacking throughout the day.

]]>Mushrooms
Using mushrooms only as a topping for pizza or omelets is a huge mistake. These veggies are packed with vitamin D, protein, and fiber so try to add them to your diet by eating grilled mushrooms, creamy mushroom soup, or pasta.
Pickles
Research shows that eating pickles and pickle juice can help athletes reduce muscle pain and cramps. This crunchy and low-calorie food can be a perfect snack, topping, or salad that can make every meal more flavorful.
Potatoes
This vegetable is packed with complex carbohydrates, potassium, fiber, which means it’s great for boosting energy and improving your athletic performance.
Kefir
We all know that kefir is super healthy for our gut health, yet most people don’t eat it very often. This yogurt-like drink is not only good for digestion, it’s also great for reducing inflammation and speeding up recovery after intense workouts.

]]>Coffee
It might sound obvious, but coffee is a stimulant and triggers the body to stay awake. Drinking coffee anytime after midday can interrupt your sleep pattern.
Alcohol
People often associate alcohol with sleep. While it is true that alcohol can help you get to sleep, it prevents good quality. Drinking too much alcohol can disrupt your sleep patterns and stifle REM cycles.
Fatty Foods
Fatty foods are hard for your body to digest. Eating them shortly before bed puts enormous strain on your digestive system, which disrupts good quality sleep.
Cheese
It is a common proverb that eating cheese before bed will give you nightmares. In fact, there is some truth to this. Cheese contains the amino acid tyramine which acts as a stimulant, making your body alert at bedtime.
Spicy Food
Like fatty food, spicy food is difficult to digest. This can interrupt sleep patterns, make it hard to drift off, and induce a light sleep rather than a heavy slumber.

When you work out and stay active, you don’t have to watch everything you eat. But when you’re inactive, it’s crucial to have a plan so you can avoid accidental overeating. A plan will help you buy groceries if you cook at home.

]]>Proper Training
Two or three strength training workouts per week are a must if you want to increase your lean muscle mass. The types of training you should take into consideration are weightlifting, power yoga class, HIIT training, and bodyweight exercises.

Decreasing body fat can also help your body get leaner, and you can do it by adding cardio workouts to your routine. If you’re switching up your diet, it’s important to only lose fat and not muscle mass. Extreme reductions in your daily caloric intake can lead to a loss of lean body mass, and it’s not recommended.

A proper diet also plays a crucial role in the way your lean muscle mass will develop. You should fill up on lean protein, such as poultry, eggs, lean pork, and seafood, eat several servings of fruits and vegetables every day, and limit your consumption of grains.

]]>High Protein Foods
The best advice for getting sufficient protein is to eat lots of high protein foods. High protein animal products include eggs, meat, fish, and dairy. For plant-based, you can have lentils, beans, tofu, pumpkin seeds, oats, almonds, chickpeas, or quinoa.
[#ad] One of my favourite quick weeknight dinners often includes some sort of stir fry. Inspired by delicious fall veggies, I made this roasted butternut squash stir fry and WOW did this ever turn out amazing. The addition of a runny yolk mixed with a salty/spicy sauce gave it the BEST flavour 
I *try* to ensure all my meals include veggies, complex carbs & proteins. Whenever I’m stuck on what protein to use, I ALWAYS turn to eggs {no matter the time of day!}. They are an easy, affordable & super nutritious addition to any meal 
Ingredients: 1 small butternut squash 2 packs ramen noodles @lotusfoodscanada is my fav 2 eggs Green onion {optional} For the sauce: 1/4 cup tamari, 2 tbsp veg broth, 2 tsp rice vinegar, 2 garlic cloves minced, 1 tsp coconut sugar, 1/2 tsp chili flakes, salt & pepper Details: • peel & chop butternut squash, toss with oil, salt & pepper; roast at 400 for 30 mins + 2 min broil • boil water in a small saucepan & add eggs; boil for 5.5 mins, remove & place into an ice bath • combine sauce ingredients • cook ramen noodles per instructions, drain & toss with sauce & squash • peel & slice eggs • divide into bowls & garnish with green onion & chili flakes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #happyandfull #EggsAnytime #eggs #dinner #dinnerideas #dinnertime #healthyeating #healthyrecipes #delicious #easyrecipes #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #dairyfree #glutenfree #realfood #wholefoods #homemade #nomnom #eeeeeats #foodporn #yolkporn #eattherainbow #eatyourveggies #nutrition #balaceddiet #recipeshare #foodspirationAnimal or Plant-Based?
Plant-based protein is better for the environment and some would say is more ethical. However, it’s not quite as good at building and maintaining muscle as protein from animal products. If you eat a plant-based diet, the best advice is variety. Eat lots of different kinds of protein-rich foods!
fact: you can easily meet all your nutrient requirements by sticking to the basics. Forget superfoods and loads of supplements. Forget fancy protein powders. Forget expensive health food products. Forget complicated rules or micromanaging everything. Sure you can totally include these things if you like + enjoy them, by all means. But they aren’t necessary to be healthy. Sometimes, simple is best!
Here’s an example of a breakfast that’s a great balance of complex carbs, protein + healthy fats. It’s high in fibre and a good source of omega 3s, antioxidants, calcium, iron, B vitamins, vitamin C + plenty of other nutrient goodness. It’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s simple, it’s delicious. No fuss needed!

Protein Shakes
Protein shakes are convenient and effective. You can tailor the amounts of protein to your workouts and they are quick and easy. But they are only effective if you have been working out regularly for some weeks.

Don’t Over Do It
Protein shakes aren’t a substitute for real food. They are only a supplement for those athletes you do regular hard workouts. The body cannot digest too much protein. It’s best to stick to high priotein nutritious food.

]]>Start With Vegetables
If you eat your veggies first, you’ll fill up on them and eat less of the unhealthy dishes later. If you’re making a burger, load it with veggies so it will fill you up while providing all the needed nutrients. Grilled vegetables make an amazing side dish and or the main dish and you already have everything you need to prepare them.
Be Careful With Condiments
Adding plenty of condiments like ketchup, mayonnaise, and barbecue sauce can quickly turn a relatively healthy meal into an unhealthy one. Condiments are often high in calories and have a lot of added sugar, so be mindful when adding them to your food.

]]>Use Cooking Shortcuts
A healthy diet typically consists of plenty of cooking at home. If you’ve been eating out a lot in the past, this can be overwhelming. That’s why it’s a good idea to use shortcuts whenever you can. When using frozen vegetables you don’t have to wash and clean them, which will save you a lot of time. Learning how to wash up as you cook instead of leaving the dishes for the end will also save you plenty of time and energy.

You’ve probably started by thinking about all the unhealthy foods you need to eliminate, but it’s better to focus on foods you should be eating. When you start adding healthy options to your diet you’ll quickly realize there’s actually not much room for all the unhealthy snacks and fast food.
