Meal Prep Mondays |Training Photos|

"The greatest gift you can give to the world is becoming the best you that you can be." 
Bacon

Nothing really to write in regards to nutrition but I wanted to post something with food since I like to keep the same theme on Mondays. 4 Avocados, 1 pack of bacon, 5 asparagus spears, 1 zucchini, cilantro, 1 yam, cayenne pepper, black pepper,  and garlic salt.   


The bacon was cut in small pieces and then cooked the asparagus in the bacon grease. Mashed up the Avocados and then mixed it with cilantro and the spices. The yam and the zucchini was baked separately in the oven. 
AVOCADO: The monounsaturated fats found in avocados are burned readily for fuel during exercise and actually encourage fat burning. Avocados also contain a very interesting carb called mannoheptulose, a sugar that. actually blunts insulin release and enhances calcium absorption, both of which are critical for encouraging fat loss.
