I concur with everything you've said.
I will say that I drink a smoothie as a (post workout) meal 1-2x per week and the ingredient that really alters that composition is almond butter (and quite a bit of it - 1/3 cup or more).
Nut butters, yogurt and oats should be primary ingredients and fruits should be sparingly added just for a bit of flavor (I throw in 8-10 blueberries which is plenty).
- ebg13 7y ago> Nut butters, yogurt and oats should be primary ingredients Non-starchy non-sugary vegetables should be primary ingredients if you're not looking for a calorie bomb, though it sounds like you are. Let's say you're feeling generous and your almond butter edges up to half a cup. That's over 700 calories before any of your other ingredients.
- Retric 7y agoThis is where heath advice breaks down. A heathy snack for a 6’4” serious power lifter looks very different from what the average American should be eating.
- ebg13 7y agoAgreed. People who don't lift like a dockside gantry should never base their intake on the diets of people who do. And people who do should refrain from advising others in general spaces based on what they consume, because almost everyone does not.
