Salmon offers heart-healthy omega-3s, which combat inflammation and support joint health—crucial for someone active like you. Ground sirloin adds creatine and carnosine, compounds that enhance muscle performance and endurance. The broccoli and cauliflower aren't just sidekicks; they're nutritional powerhouses loaded with antioxidants that fight oxidative stress from intense workouts. They also provide fiber, aiding in digestion and keeping you satiated longer—important when you're following a one-meal-a-day plan. Embracing the One Meal a Day (OMAD) Lifestyle: Intermittent Fasting Benefits: Enhances metabolic flexibility. May improve insulin sensitivity. Can promote autophagy, the body's way of cleansing damaged cells. Caution: Ensure that your single meal meets your caloric and nutritional needs. Stay hydrated throughout the day. Listen to your body—if extra snacks or meals are needed, adjust accordingly.
