Mid-Morning Meals
After beginning
the day with your breakfast, post-workout meal or a protein shake, a long-lasting,
high protein mid-morning meal should follow about 2 hours later. The
mid-morning meal is essential in order to keep your metabolism working at a
high level and to continue providing nutrients to your muscles. Your body functions best when it receives
multiple small meals throughout the day; ideally those which are high in complex
carbs and lean protein and low in fat. Some
of my favorite mid-morning meal options include oatmeal, brown rice, fat-free
Greek yogurt, and grilled chicken.
