Everyone loves the post-workout meal. It serves as a reward, a celebration of having worked your ass off, and it's a fantastic excuse to eat some of the sugars and simple carbs that we avoid most other times.
People are fond of believing that a glass of chocolate milk is the perfect post-workout meal. As someone [...]

The 7 Secrets of Post-Workout Recovery
Guest post: The no-meat newbie
When I first "met" Susan via email after she ordered a No Meat Athlete shirt, she told me she would be running her first marathon the next day. Afterward, she sent me her race recap and mentioned that a fall Ironman triathlon was next on her list. Must already be an accomplished swimmer and cyclist, [...]
Black beans, yellow rice
Beans and rice. Health gurus tell us it's a match made in nutritional heaven, since each provides the essential amino acids the other lacks. If beans and rice could talk, they might in a moment of unguarded honesty simultaneously declare, "You complete me." Or, perhaps more ethnically accurate, "Me completas."
I've heard that's a load of [...]
Warm and fuzzies
Saturdays have been my "personal post" days recently, as opposed to the more useful, entertaining info that isn't about me that I try to post during the week. That's been working well, so I'm sticking with it. Let's get personal!

An email I got from a reader named Bridget this week:

The lazy runner's way to strength train

Strength training is something that I still haven't worked into my routine the way I'd like. I had a good thing going early last year with squats, deadlifts, and a few full-body exercises that I did twice a week, but then I injured my IT band and had to quit running for two [...]
Black bean and walnut croquettes
Well, sadly, it's time to close the book on 1,000 Vegan Recipes — on this blog, that is. (Not in my kitchen, where it has officially secured a spot on my list of go-to cookbooks for quick, healthy, interesting meals.) As much as I wish I could do it, Robin Robertson and Wiley might not [...]
5 Keys to the Pre-Workout Meal Everyone Should Know
Image via Wikipedia
What to eat pre-workout has long been an area of uncertainty for runners and athletes. Should we just eat the same stuff we consume during a workout or race? What about a simple protein drink or meal-replacement shake? Far too often, the result of my confusion has been a few swigs of Gatorade, [...]
Best Thrive 'pizza' yet!
I've stayed away from fake meat products for a while now, so it's been a long time since I've had any food in quotes. The "pizzas" in Thrive, however, are a different kind of quoted food, since they're not masquerading as real pizzas. "Pizza" just happens to be the most convenient way to describe a food [...]
Sweet-Tooth Friday: Vegan Box of Chocolates
Happy Sweet-Tooth Friday! This is Christine here with an extra special recipe for Valentine's day. Forget the roses this Sunday and whip up a box of my homemade vegan chocolates instead! Don't worry, there are no candy thermometers or boiling hot sugar—just simple stir-together ingredients. I came up with four yummy fillings for a really [...]
