Fit Tip

Always include a combination of carbs and protein to your post-workout snack (as well as all meals).  If you're unsure as to whether or not you're noshing on the healthy amounts of each, if you exercise regularly (as we all do!), aim for 0.5-0.75 grams per pound of body weight per day.

While you're calculating, don't forget Greek yogurt, beans, quinoa, and soy.  Look for hidden sources as well-

Cottage cheese (14 g per ½-cup / 4 oz. serving)

Dried spirulina seaweed (8.6 g per 1 cup serving)

Bagels (7.2 g per small bagel, 3" diameter)

Oatmeal (6 g per 1 cup cooked)

Bulgur (6 g per 1 cup cooked)

Brown rice (5 g per 1 cup cooked)

Spinach (5 g per 1 cup cooked)

Baked potatoes (4.5 g per medium potato, skin included)

Peas (4.5 g per ½ cup serving)

Avocados (4 g per avocado)

Broccoli (4 g per 1 cup cooked)
