Fuel Your Fall Workouts with Seafood
That fall feeling is in the air again: crisp nights, renewed focus, and a fresh opportunity to home in on your fitness routine. Whether you’re hitting the gym again, upping the distance on your morning walks, or just getting more active as cooler weather rolls in, the right nutrition is key to optimizing your energy levels. That’s where seafood comes in. A deliciously affordable, high quality source of protein, seafood gives your body the fuel it needs to power through workouts and reach those fall fitness goals even faster.
WHOLE FOODS TO FUEL RECOVERY
While processed shakes and sports drinks might seem like the easiest, most efficient choices after a workout, nutritionists and experts recommend reaching for whole foods that are minimally processed instead. And we think you can guess what whole food we’re talking about here: seafood. Our bodies can better utilize the nutrients we get from whole foods, which in turn enhances our recovery after exercising.
LEAN PROTEIN FOR YOUR MUSCLES
After you’ve worked up a sweat, your muscles need the right kind of protein to help them recover—and get even stronger, too. Tuna, salmon, and sardines are all stellar sources of lean protein that helps your muscles repair and rebuild after exercise. Toss some sweet and spicy tuna into lettuce cups or whip up a quick and easy salmon grain bowl after your workout—or if you’re on the go, bring along our portable tuna and salmon packets for the easiest possible post-exercise snack.
VITAMINS THAT BOOST ENERGY
Seafood is about more than just protein. It’s also loaded with essential vitamins like B6 and B12, which help convert the food you eat into energy—and energy is just what you need when you’re gearing up for a long run or a soccer scrimmage with friends. Sardines and mackerel are particularly rich sources of B vitamins: Try our fan favorite Mackerel Patties for a flavorful snack, or do as the Scandinavians do and assemble an open-faced sardine sandwich for a delicious lunch that helps you go the distance.
OMEGA-3S FOR JOINTS AND HEART HEALTH
Found abundantly in fish like tuna and salmon, omega-3 fatty acids can help support heart health and your joints, which is especially important as the intensity of your workouts ramp up. Make your meal pack an extra nutritional punch with our popular Sesame Ginger Soba Noodles with Salmon—it’s made with edamame, a plant-based source of healthy omega-3s.
LIGHT MEALS THAT WON’T WEIGH YOU DOWN
No one wants to feel sluggish before a workout (or after one, for that matter), and seafood like tuna and salmon provide lean protein to add a punch to your meals without weighing you down. Best of all, it can be worked into any meal, from breakfast through dinner. Start your day with a Salmon Breakfast Scramble, for example, or pack a Tuna Caesar Wrap for a quick lunch on the go. When dinnertime hits, a hearty Salmon Burrito Bowl offers a nice balance of protein and complex carbs to help you recover and refuel.
FALL FITNESS, DONE RIGHT
As you head into your fall fitness routine, remember that nutrition is the secret superpower behind every workout. Incorporating seafood into your diet gives your body the protein, omega-3s, and essential vitamins it needs to keep you moving and feeling great. So here’s to a season of strong workouts, delicious food, and feeling your best!
