Tofu and edamame beans
Good protein dish
Comments from Lisa:
Tofu is known for its extraordinary nutritional benefits, as well as its versatility. Tofu, also known as soya curd, is a soft cheese-like food made by curdling soya milk with a coagulant. It is a high protein, low fat energy source and great for rebuilding muscle after exercise.
You an also eat this meal with a good source of complex carbohydrates such as brown rice or quinoa (keen-wah), if you need extra carbohydrate before or after exercise. Otherwise the beans offer good levels of complex carbohydrates with plenty of vitamins and minerals.
Jamie Oliver’s Pasta Puttanesca
Pasta Puttanesca or Working Girl’s Pasta
Comments from Lisa:
This is a really tasty meal from Jamie Oliver which is perfect to have after a decent run or 10k race as the protein will help rebuild muscle tissue, and the carbohydrates are great for restoring glycogen levels. The anchovies, capers and olives also replenish salt levels in the body.
As a good healthy alternative try to use spelt pasta in this dish. Also, to make it slightly easier, a tin of good quality tomatoes works equally as well as the combination of fresh tomatoes and white wine.
