Fuel Your Body Right!

You bust your butt in the gym, now it’s time to kick butt in the kitchen! When working out it is important to nourish your body and provide it with the right nutrients it needs to promote muscle growth and fat loss. This means choosing healthy, yet delicious foods that your body can use to refuel itself. All foods are composed of macronutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Your body uses these nutrients to create the energy that is required to maintain organ and muscle function. When the body has more nutrients coming in than it needs, it starts to store the extra calories and you accumulate adipose tissue (body fat). As a result, it is important to select the right amount of food and type of food to achieve your health goals. This means selecting proteins that are lean, carbohydrates that are low in sugars and fats that are unsaturated with omegas. Don’t let that workout go to waste, eat some of the following foods so you can feel great and look great!
