Chili Stuffed Plantain
FitMenCook
My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and enjoying adequate exercise. By experimenting in the kitchen and openly sharing my meals, I learned that healthy eating is hardly boring and that by making a few adjustments, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my personal fitness goals. Our bodies are built in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym.
Ultimate muscle-building post-workout meal: stuffed plantain with Tex-Mex chili. AND it’s easy on the wallet for “bodybuilding and healthy eating on a budget.” Easy to customize for both men and women. Vegans can use tempeh & add more black beans. Boom.
Why carbs after a workout? After lifting weights, your “muscle energy” (or glycogen) becomes depleted. Eating carbs following a workout helps restore glycogen levels and assists with recovery and muscle GROWTH.
