Amaze family and friends with this simple roasted pork tenderloin rubbed with spices and drizzled with a sweet and tangy sauce. Serve with brown rice or favorite whole grain for a complete and satisfying dinner. Lean endurance take;

  • Pork is an excellent source of the B-vitamins thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, and B-6 as well as phosphorus.

  • also a good source of zinc and potassium. All of which play a role in establishing optimal health, metabolism, and immune function.

  • While athletes' protein needs are greater than that of non-athletes, they're not as high as commonly perceived. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Dietitians of Canada and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend 1.2 to 2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day for athletes, depending on training. Protein intake should be spaced throughout the day and after workouts.

Chickpea and Cauliflower Curry

Bright and beautiful curried veggies look even better when you serve them with orange-hued sweet potatoes instead of the usual rice. Sweet potatoes are full of fiber and colorful antioxidants, and they’re the quintessential autumn veggie. Lean endurance take;

  • Combined with regular exercise, viscous fiber can reduce your rate of fat deposition and absorption in your body

  • Dietary fiber consumption after a workout may not be the best, since it could lead to stomach cramping and bloating and slows down the rate of nutrient absorption. Your body demands nutrients and fuel to replenish your cells with energy, repair damaged tissues and cool your body temperature after an intense workout.

  • Other options are better if you have just completed a workout; Consume a meal high in carbohydrates and proteins as soon as you can -- within 45-120 minutes -- after your workout.

  • The best sources of viscous fiber are from legumes and oats, while non-viscous fiber sources can be obtained from whole-wheat bread and pasta, fruits and leafy vegetables.

  • Men can consume between 16 to 18 grams of fiber and women consume 12 to 14 grams per day.

Looking for a high-protein meal? Look no further than this recipe, which gives you 20 grams of vegetarian protein per serving, plus tons of fiber to keep you full. Contrary to popular belief, chili doesn’t need to simmer for hours to deliver great flavor. This plant-based black bean chili takes a quick sauté and it’s ready to ladle over the lime-sparked couscous, making a great packable lunch or easy dinner. Lean Endurance take;

  • Beans and legumes have a number of health benefits, including reducing cholesterol, decreasing blood sugar levels and increasing healthy gut bacteria.

  • Beans and legumes are the fruits or seeds of a family of plants called Fabaceae. They are commonly eaten around the world and are a rich source of fiber and B vitamins.

  • They are also a great replacement for meat as a source of vegetarian protein.

  • Legumes are edible seeds or pods — such as black beans, chickpeas, peas, and even peanuts — that grow from certain plants. They make a good exchange for red meat because they contain many of the same nutrients, but fewer of the drawbacks. Too much red meat in the diet has been linked to numerous harmful health effects.
