Build Muscle With This Great Salad

!±8± Build Muscle With This Great Salad

Here is a recipe for a great SALAD which is not only delicious but actually helps you build muscle. I know all the ladies will love this but guys you have just got to try it even if you do think salads are only food for rabbits!

What will surprise you all is that this salad is neither low on fat, on calories or carbs. This is the whole idea, it's not LOW on anything but it is HIGH on everything that is good for your body, nearly every vitamin, mineral, antioxidant and phytonutrient that you can think of. The result is your body will receive all the nutrition needed to maintain optimal hormonal balance, function at its highest capacity while keeping you satisfied for hours and preventing those unwanted cravings.

Remember that, because when you provide your body with all the nutrients it needs on a daily basis it does away with those unwanted cravings.

I have noticed since I have been watching carefully what I eat that I no longer have any cravings for the sweet things I used to constantly desire.

O.K. enough of all that, this is what you are waiting for;
THE RECIPE for MUSCLE BUILDING SALAD!!

1. 1 - 2 cups of mixed leaf lettuce.

2. The same of spinach leaves and shredded carrots.

3. ½ an avocado chopped.

4. 2 hard boiled eggs, diced

5. Tbsp chopped pecans.

6. ¼ cup dried cranberries.

Top all this with a homemade dressing of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, plus Udo's Choice Oil Blend (¾ of the liquid should be vinegar).
When this is all mixed together you have one delicious and nutritious salad. To give it a real boost and some extra antioxidants, wash it down with iced green oolong tea which if you wish you can sweeten with a teaspoon of honey.

Here is what you have in the way of nutrients;

Carbs. 48g, Fat 45g, Protein, 23g, Fiber, 12g, Calories, 650.

I know, I know, it's high in fat and calories but the important thing is to scale back the portions you eat in order for you to meet your own caloric goal. The portions in the recipe meet a caloric intake of around 3000 calories a day so if your maintenance is 2000 scale it back accordingly.
The high fat content is not important because every gram is extremely healthy, even the fat from the eggs is good for you believe me.

What about the Carbs? Out of a total of 48 grams, 12 is of fiber which is a good ratio. Plus the healthy fats and protein will slow down the carbohydrate digestion giving a good glycemic response and steady controlled blood sugar.

Why isn't there a larger amount of protein you ask as it is all the rage with body builders. In fact the 23 grams is no small amount especially if you remember 14 of it comes from the highly bioavailable protein of the hard boiled eggs. As the meal has a lot of healthy fats it increases the utilization of your protein. This happens because your body does not need the protein for energy and can instead use it to build muscle.

With this meal you have the best mix of healthy fats, good fibrous carbs, quality protein and a diversity of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other trace nutrients.

However for me the best part is it tastes great!!!! And surely that's what eating is all about, a good healthy meal that you can sit down and enjoy!!
