38 MUSCLE & FITNESS
M&F READERS HAVE A pretty good grasp
on what to eat in order to get and maintain
a lean, muscular physique. Meal times are easy:
protein galore, smarter carbohydrate choices,
plenty of vegies and fruits and the right supps.
But it’s what you eat between those meals that
can make or break your build. Take in the right
snacks and you continue to power your body
through to the next meal. The wrong snack, or
mini meal, can bring your metabolism
to a crashing halt and leave you struggling
to catch up for the rest of the day.
Here are a few of our favourite snack options.
Stash a few in your desk drawer or gym bag,
and you’ll always have a healthy snack on hand
when the munchies bite.Feed
