Recipes for Athletes

I've been asked lately for recipes and meal plans, so I will be putting up a series of recipes on this blog; a sort of cookbook for athletes.  I think meal plans are too structured and take the pleasure out of eating.  I'll concentrate on tasty dishes that make it easy for athletes (and non-athletes, too) to meet their daily nutrient requirements.

All of the recipes must meet five requirements: They must be 1) nutritionally dense, 2) flavourful, and 3) focus on real ingredients; 4) they can be prepared and eaten in 30 minutes or less; finally, 5) they can be adapted to accommodate weight-gain or weight-loss goals.  This last requirement is achieved through criteria 1 and 2, so small portions for weight loss leave you satiated but large ones for weight gain aren't a chore to stuff in, and by having a (easily and) highly variable CHO portion without affecting the recipe.

Stay tuned...
