Exercise of the Month - July 2009: “Shopping List to Fuel Your Workouts”
I continue to get asked a lot of similar questions relative to nutrition. One of my favorites is, “What should I buy when I do my grocery shopping to ensure I have enough energy for my workouts?” That being said, I thought this month I’d provide a list of some suggestions for you to consider next time you go shopping. The dozen suggestions that follow collectively possess ample antioxidants, lean protein, fiber, etc…
- Wild salmon (try “sockeye” version if you haven’t yet
- Bison meat (Trader Joe’s sells it as “Buffalo Steak Burgers”)
- Rotisserie chicken (save money and head to Costco)
- Avocado
- Bell peppers
- Kale
- All berries (buy organic if you can swing it financially)
- Beans (all types)
- Extra virgin olive oil (for salads/stir frying)
- Canola oil (for baking)
- Greek yogurt (I live for this stuff)
- Omega 3 eggs (great protein source @ breakfast)
