RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Not all protein foods are the same. Many can be high in protein, but high in "bad" saturated fat too. That's why we need LEAN sources of protein (white meat, fish, eggs, unsalted/raw nuts, unsalted beans, plain Greek yogurt). Don't be afraid to try non-traditional sources of lean protein either, like bison & ostrich. Broil/grill a bison/ostrich burger that you seasoned with pepper & garlic and enjoy it over a veggie salad. Top the salad with a drizzle of olive oil for a perfect post-exercise meal.
