It is common with salads to not eat enough to really fill us up or for the calorie intake of the salad alone to be quite low. If you are training hard and working out regularly, then you may find salads that have healthy carbs like rice, pasta, beans or potatoes in to be a better option for you. Alternatively, you can increase the good fats (sprinkle of nuts, seeds or olive oil) or have additional protein on the side if you want to lean up.
Rice has been a favourite product of the gym world for decades! It is low in fat, low in cholesterol and includes protein and minerals such as potassium which help the body reduce toxins. You can vary this recipe as you like but here is our favourite variation.
