Eat Like an Athlete

Protein, Protein, Protein

Lean meats and low-fat yogurts can give you a much-needed helping hand after a high-intensity workout. Studies have also found that athletes looking to gain weight should consider adding more protein to their diets than their endurance-focused counterparts.
