Healthy foods that will assist in repairing muscles?

This topic was created in the Health forum by Hemispheres on Wednesday, June 1, 2016 and has 6 replies.
I'm trying to get back down to the weight I was at last year. I stopped excercising once the winter weather moved in last year and put on quite a bit of weight after losing 40lbs last spring.

Last week I ended up doing nightly 2 mile walks but I didn't feel uch of a burn. Last night I walked 9 miles and tonight I walked 4.5 only because my thighs are sore and have blisters my feet. E

I've been reducing my usual rich food intake and eating more lean meat/fsh and vegatables. Im not sure how advisableit is but I eat 1-2 small baked yellow potatoes a day and snack on juice oranges and ocassionally a handful of doritos or a few oreos.

I'm wondering what I can add to my diet to assist in repairing muscles aside from eggs or peanut butter.
Danka.
Smoothies aren't really my thing so Ill add bananas to my snacks, I've also got potassium gluconate pills I take 4x a day.

Jokes aside, I will do what you've said. Smoothie, Treadmill/running then weights. I've being alternating days of weights then cardio rather than on the same day, at the same time and not seeing much result.

And of course increase my protein intake and reduce carbs

Yea, weights are the fastest way to burn fat. Cardioid good but unless you're running 2 miles 3/4days a week, you won't see much results

Just to point out though. I'd rather do Weights before cardio rather than the other way round. i feel stronger that way.
