Get Leaner on High Anti-Inflammatory Meal

Athletes sometimes do need to cut some weight but they can’t afford to miss training days from getting sick.  Nor do they want to lose muscle!  It is easy to reduce the calorie count in a meal by about 15%.  That does not mean you won’t feel full.  Research by Barbara Rolls, PhD, at Penn State University showed that by decreasing the amount of grains and meat portions, and subsituting low calorie vegetables, subjects in the study consumed fewer calories.  Even better, they didn’t really notice the amount of calories was reduced.  The bonus of swapping out some greens for grains was a boost in anti-inflammatory nutrients.  If part of your dinner plate is sugar or grease, then replacing more veggies for these foods can have an even higher payback.
