    If you follow my stories, you might have seen that If you follow my stories, you might have seen that I sprained my ankle while running yesterday. I fell off a curb and turned it. I went to urgent care to confirm nothing was broken, and they gave me a prescription for PT. So hopefully I’m back to running before fall is over. But this incident made me think of an article I wrote a few years ago for @runnersworldmag about nutrients that can help with injury recovery. * * First, let me reiterate that eating a certain food isn’t the cure-all for your injury. But good nutrition can help. Here are some of my research-backed tips: ✅ Stress fractures: Calcium & Vitamin D are bone building nutrients ✅ Knee surgery: Protein is crucial after surgery to help maintain muscle mass. Collagen helps with wound healing. And zinc can promote recovery time. ✅ Plantar fasciitis: Antioxidants and good fats help to soothe inflammation associated with this condition. ✅ Arthritis: Research has found that collagen may help with joint pain. ✅ Pulled hamstring: Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA)—leucine, isoleucine and valine—may prevent muscle degradation, which is helpful for a strained muscle. . .

    “Brown rice is bad for me, so I only eat quinoa. “Brown rice is bad for me, so I only eat quinoa.” FALSE 👎🏻Looking at the nutrition stats, you’ll notice that they are almost identical. It’s crazy how some foods have gotten a health halo (quinoa), while others have gotten a bad rap (rice). There’s a ton of nutrition misinformation perpetuated on social media, and it’s incredibly overwhelming to know what’s the right and wrong things to eat. Rest assured that both quinoa and brown rice are a nutritious part of a well-balanced diet. Make sure you know the facts about a food before you decide to omit it from your diet. * * PS: If you like this graphic, let me know other foods you would like me to compare in the comments below 👇🏻.

    This time last year, I was running 🏃🏽‍♀️ the #ChicagoMarathon. The lack of in-person races this year has really thrown a curve ball in my running routine. While I still consistently run every week, my “long run” is only about a 10k. I miss training for races and actually running them! I can’t wait until this is all over and I can sign up for a new race. What’s the first in-person race you’re going to run when things open back up?
    The #1 question I get asked, and the reason I crea The #1 question I get asked, and the reason I created the Vegetarian Athlete Meal Plans. I think about protein, so you don’t have to! Not sure if you’re eating enough? This is just 4 of the 6 meals in one week of meal plans. I take the guesswork out of fueling, so you make sure you’re getting enough protein and calories on a daily basis. Download a FREE 7-Day Vegetarian Athlete Meal Plan at the #linkinbio.
