How to Choose the Best Meals for a Workout
There's a science behind what kind of meals to eat before and after a workout. Beforehand, fuel your body with complex carbohydrates that are high in fiber for a slower energy release. It's also wise to add lean proteins, which are essential to boosting and sustaining your energy levels.
The advice for eating after a workout is similar. Choose meals that have carbs and higher levels of protein to help your muscles recover. The goal is to help replace your fuel and glycogen stores while repairing muscles for your next workout.
Which Fit Trax Meals Should You Order?
FitTrax offers chef-driven meals specifically tailored for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. We offer a wide range of meals, including options for building muscle, getting lean, and fueling high-performance athletes. Here are a few of our favorite meals for your workout routine.
1) Salmon with Ratatouille Quiona & Lemon Vinagrette
Salmon is considered a recovery food for its ability to help rebuild muscles and repair connective tissues. Try our Salmon with Ratatouille Quiona & Lemon Vinagrette. It comes with a side of vegetables and rich, quinoa-prepared ratatouille style. We seasoned this dish with fresh lemon vinaigrette and herbs for a splash of flavor.
2) Our Korean Bulgogi Ground Beef Rice Bowl
Enjoy our Korean Bulgogi Ground Beef Rice Bowl with a side of jasmine rice and steamed broccoli. B12 and valuable vitamins are abundant in beef bulgogi, providing an incredible source of protein to fuel your workout. B12 is particularly useful for workouts because it helps to deliver oxygen to muscles, metabolize protein and fat, and support red blood cell formation.
3) Basil Balsamic Chicken with Rosemary Potatoes and Green Beans
For a Mediterranean delight, try our Basil Balsamic Chicken with Rosemary Potatoes and Green Beans. It comes with marinated organic chicken breast with rosemary-roasted potatoes and fresh green beans with roasted mushrooms. Good for muscle recovery and carbohydrates, chicken is important for muscle recovery and bone health.
4) Chimichurri Steak with Almond Quiona Salad
Dish up our Chimichurri Steak with Almond Quiona Salad with grass-fed steak and vegetables and a side of rice quiona salad. We topped this off with fresh roasted almonds for a boost of protein, nutrients, and flavor. Steak is high in protein, but almonds also help with post-workout muscle recovery with protein, antioxidants, and magnesium.
5) Cuban Pulled Pork
Grab an indulgence with a healthy twist. Our smoked Cuban Pulled Pork is served with aji verde rice and seasonal vegetables, topped with a chili mojito sauce. Consuming more pork fuels your body's amino acids to aid in building blocks for creating new muscle.
6) Breakfast Sandwiches
We love serving up breakfast with a tasty, organic fried egg and cheddar cheese on two slices of English muffin. Our Breakfast Sandwich 2 Pack is simple, delicious, and packed with amino acids and flavor.
7) Bacon Egg Scramble
Start your day with organic scrambled eggs with breakfast potatoes, bacon, and cheese. Not only does our Bacon Egg Scramble taste great, but eggs provide all of the nine essential amino acids that are vital for the building blocks of protein. Bacon, along with B vitamins and electrolytes, can also help boost your energy.
