Italian Balsamic Marinated Chicken Breast

If you wanted an even simpler and faster shortcut, you could marinate your chicken with balsamic or Italian dressing, but the nice thing about making your own marinades is you control the ingredients and therefore the taste (including salt content) and the macros.

Blueberry Bliss High Protein Smoothie

The blueberry bliss protein smoothie made the top 20 member favorite recipes ranking recently. That's surprising, considering all the other flavors we have: chocolate peanut butter, strawberry slush, and many more in the Meal Planning software. But the members voted, and this slipped into the top bunch. Made with frozen fruit, this is great for hot days, and it's great for any day of the year you need more protein (40g). It's also thick and filling and amazingly satisfying for only 274 calories..

Does fasted cardio burn more fat? 20 or 30 years ago, almost everyone in fitness and bodybuilding thought so. You can count me in that group. I was a 1990s and 2000s era competition bodybuilder and I did a lot of fasted cardio first thing in the morning. Back then I also recommended cardio on an empty stomach to my training clients for burning more fat. Today the research is clear: Fasted cardio works, but it doesn't work better than fed cardio.
