Educational Topic of the Week
Protein!
Most people associate eating protein with strength training. The desire to gain lean mass is typically what drives my clients to ask, “How much protein do I need?”
Healthy Snacking
Snacks have been used in many ways with many foods from skittles to pretzels to donuts. Some people snack when bored, some when stressed, and some snack in habit. Just about everyone has heard of diets promoting eating 5-6 small meals a day. This is actually a great strategy for keeping your blood sugar, energy, and even metabolism consistent throughout the day.
