These are really simple and you already know about them, but many time we just need to be reminded of things we already know but don’t do! So try adding these 3 foods to your weekly diet for a more balanced nutrition plan.

1) Fish- fish is a great source of high quality, low fat protein and has the added benefit of being rich in omega 3 fatty acids. If you are like me and don’t like “fishy” tasting fish, try tuna or swordfish grilled or blackened. Good stuff!

2) Sweet Potatos- These are the miracle carbs. Very rich in vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, they pack a whole lot of essential nutrition into a small package.

3) Yogurt- Low fat yogurt is another great tasting food that can help with muscle growth since it contains high quality protein, calcium and all the vitamins associated with milk products. If you are lactose intolerant, eating smaller amounts at one time will usually avoid stomach upset.

Adding these three foods to your diet on a weekily basis will give you an edge in your training and generally promote good nutritional balance.
