We hear a lot about the importance of “getting your protein in” before or after a workout. We’ve seen videos of muscled men and women blending raw eggs into “power shakes” and we’ve all heard friends wax poetic about their protein routines. But what if you’re just starting out? How do you know what, if anything, you should be drinking and how often?
We've been careful for a long time now, and we're all anxious to venture out and enjoy some of the things we've missed during our homebound year. There is probably no more pent up demand than the desire to get back to our favorite restaurants and enjoy a meal with friends and family. This can bring up some old challenges that we may have forgotten about ... eating out while still eating healthy.

Do you ever finish with a tough workout and immediately feel hungry? That’s actually quite normal, but falling prey to those hunger cravings can all but cancel the hard work you just put in. Hunger is something that needs to be addressed before, during, and after a workout. Eating the right foods at the right times, especially snacks, can help you avoid inadvertently undoing your workout.
Snacking for energy? Yep! Have you ever heard the saying, “great bodies are made in the kitchen, not in the gym?” It’s not an exaggeration. With the right knowledge and application, food can be used not only to help you achieve the body you want, but to provide you with the energy and nutrients you need to stick to your fitness goals and daily routine. Choosing the right snacks for energy can help clean up your diet, improve your mood, energy, and concentration, and help you get better results from your workouts!
Internet memes notwithstanding, for most of us the beginning of each new year brings a new set of goals that we "resolve" to reach. We write down resolutions, work at them excitedly for a week or two, or three, and then – we let them fall by the wayside. Something happens, like a vacation, an off weekend, or a cold. We skip a day or two of our fitness routine and before we know it, our New Year’s resolutions have gone out the window.
