The Chicken of the Sea

[kandrathe]

Couldn't have said it any better myself Kandrathe. Only thing I could add to the list is cottage cheese. One of the best types of protein is whey protein, which of course is found in dairy products. Cottage cheese has a high protein count in a very small package. Skim Cottage cheese with some fresh fruit in it is a great post workout meal.

Since your focus will be more on cardio than lifting, carbs will be more important post workout than protein. So within about 45 minutes post workout have a light snack, a half a bagel and some tuna/cottage cheese/chicken etc. By getting it into your system post workout your muscles will recover much faster and you'll have a lot less sore days:)

And of course, don't forget to end a workout with a stretch.

Cheers,

Heh, I despise cottage cheese, tofu, and yogurt. But you are right, if you can stomach the decayed milk/soy products by all means. I like white cheeses though, so I'd go for the mozarella on some chicken breast pasta dish with a light cream sauce.

If you want a fish diet, I'd look for a source to farm raised fish. Much less toxic in quantity.
