Summer and Grilling, a perfect combination
I was feeling grilled hamburger"ish" last night so I decided to whip up some hamburgers with a twist. First to start, some thinly sliced potatoes drizzled with EVOO(extra virgin olive oil, and parsley), placed in the oven to bake!
– When eating a snack of 200-300 calories, try eating 30 minutes ahead of exercise.
– When eating a larger meal that exceeds 300 calories, you may need to eat 2 hours before exercise so that you are comfortable. Again, feel free to experiment.
To maximize the recovery of your muscles from exercise, eat a snack that is a blend of carbohydrate and protein together within 30 minutes after exercising. Here are a few recovery snack ideas:
120 calories = veggie burger (soy-based) (110) + pickles, ketchup and mustard (10)
170 calories = 3/4 cup pineapple in juice (90) + 1/2 cup non-fat cottage cheese (80)
180 calories = 1/4 cup soy nuts (120) + small apple (60)
180 calories = 3 oz. tuna (water-packed) (100)+ 1/2 slice whole-wheat toast (40) + 1 tablespoon light mayo (40)
180 calories = 3 slices turkey breast (90 – see label) + 4 saltine crackers (50) + 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise (40)
Time to start sauteeing the onions....
Add a slice of swiss cheese, some lettuce, a tomato, and multigrain thin buns......and you have yourself a "heavy on the taste, not on the fat" hamburger.
I did make the hamburgers a little smaller than the bun. Underestimated the size of the thin bun. Just trimmed off the edges....
For some dessert and snack today. Fresh watermelon. It did not disappoint. Sweet, juicy, can't wait to eat more today!
I was emailed this fitness tip today from Biggest Loser Trainer Bob Harper and I thought I would pass it along.
It's important to fuel up before exercise, says Biggest Loser Club nutritionist Greg Hottinger, even if it's a small snack. Since we're all different, you'll need to experiment to see which foods work well for you and help you feel strong. Make your choices high in complex carbohydrates (whole grains, low-fat dairy, and fruits) and moderate to low in fat
