Lean beef is a fantastic way to get amino acids, iron and zinc into your system without the fat. It aids blood circulation, muscle building and red cell levels. If you elect to grill it you make it even healthier as you avoid the oils/unsaturated fats that can usually be found in the frying process.
Black Beans
Black beans are definitely recommended to those of you who enjoy long-distance or stamina-based exercises. Their complex form of carbohydrate means that your body takes a long time to convert it into energy giving, meaning you can go for longer. For those of you dieting the high levels of fiber means that it makes you feel fuller for longer, as a result you’ll snack less and ensure a healthy eating routine.
Eggs
