Sports meals with chicken

WHY A CHICKEN MEAL FOR ATHLETES?

The stereotypical strength athlete eats chicken with rice a few times a week. But why is this such a good combination?

Let's start with the chicken itself. Not every part of the chicken has the same nutritional values. In our dishes you mostly find chicken breast fillet and chicken thigh fillet. Both taste great, with lots of protein and hardly any calories. Perfect if you're looking for a meal to lose weight or a sports meal to get lean where you want to keep as much muscle mass as possible. But during a bulking phase you also need plenty of protein to build muscle mass. And of course you find protein in a meal with chicken! It has around 23 grams of protein per 100 grams. Perfect for the dedicated athlete, whatever the training goal. Now on to the rice. Rice is packed with carbs, which are a good source of energy. Carbs build up a store of glycogen in your muscles and liver. This energy is used first. So if you're going to train, it's smart to eat a meal of chicken with rice 1 to 2 hours beforehand, so you can really go for it in the gym! Want to lose weight? Then you're better off choosing no carbs or a smaller portion of carbs, and more chicken (protein) and vegetables. Want to gain weight or bulk? Then go for a bigger portion of carbs. What you can't forget in a fitness dish with chicken is the vegetables. They contain most of the vitamins and minerals you need to reach your sports goals. Vitamins and minerals help with, among other things, the production of hormones and enzymes, a high energy level, resistance, metabolism and, last but not least, proper muscle function! That's why every SportMeals meal, whether you want to lose or gain weight, contains a healthy dose of vegetables!

CHICKEN SPORTS MEAL FOR LOSING WEIGHT

The chicken sports meals for losing weight in our shop are low in carbs. Eating low-carb is an effective way to lose weight. Protein is digested more slowly by the body than carbs. A good portion of chicken keeps you full for a long time, so you can lose weight without feeling hungry. Keep your chicken meal prep varied by switching up the vegetables. Go for broccoli, sugar snaps, a stir-fry mix, a vegetable mix with peas and carrots, or a pepper mix with green beans.

CHICKEN SPORTS MEAL FOR GETTING LEAN

When you're getting lean, the focus is even more on keeping muscle than when you're losing weight. The chicken sports meals for getting lean also come with a small portion of rice. That gives you quick energy, so you can perform at your best in the gym. Again, there's a wide choice of vegetables. So you can vary things, and a chicken sports meal never has to be boring!

CHICKEN SPORTS MEAL FOR BUILDING MUSCLE

Time to build muscle mass? Then you eat everything in bigger portions. After all, you want to gain weight. By choosing the SportMeals bulking meals with chicken, you know you're gaining weight in a healthy way. Eating the right nutrients keeps you fit and full of energy. Go for a meal of chicken with rice, or swap it for sweet potato now and then.
