QIS THERE A SALAD THAT CAN BUILD MUSCLE?



Yes, and it doesn’t look like a plate of iceberg topped with creatine croutons.
Picture something closer to a Cobb salad—a balanced mix of protein, fat, and
carbs. “Protein and carbohydrates work together to promote muscle synthesis,”
says nutritionist Alan Aragon, M.S., MH’s weight-loss expert. “Fats support
testosterone production, while also keeping you satisfied.” Since the ideal
muscle-building salad should contain at least 30 grams of each of these
nutrients, we asked Seattle chef Tom Douglas to create a beefed-up version of
the standard Cobb. This salad contains 650 calories, 49 grams of protein,
32 grams of carbs, and 35 grams of fat. When you need a break from beef, you
can sub in three large shrimp or a 6-ounce salmon fillet, says Douglas.
