I'm guessing that you've had the pleasant surprise after joining Path of the Dragon that I frequently share recipes for alternative healthy desserts in the Dragon Fuel category. Of course the desserts have the benefits of healthier ingredients, lower calories and the freedom of customizing to your own taste. But there are two scientifically-backed reasons why I developed the habit of baking and cooking my own desserts. The effect is enormous, because the habit makes it much easier for me to stay shredded and athletic! @Bill Hazelton @Mike Pirie @George Alexandrou @Salim Albitar @Anthony N @Asha Hope @Braden S. Watt @Laura Sura @Jeremiah Hance miyou guys will love it 1). I actually burn more calories by cooking my own food rather than intense training. This sounded ridiculous to me. But the body uses 30% of its daily energy expenditure on Non-Exercise-Activity-Thermogenesis (NEAT). And that includes any movement you perform other than exercise. For example, walking from your office to the outside, climbing stairs to retrieve something from your bedroom, going to a physical store shopping, and of course, peeling potatoes, cutting them, mashing them and baking them to make your own dessert. NEAT burns more calories than intense exercise because even the most intense and strenuous exercise uses only up to 25-30% of your daily energy expenditure. And for me specifically, I train for hours, but my training style is low volume high intensity sprinting, jumping or weightlifting. I would perform one set of 80 meters sprint full speed and the rest for three minutes to let my nervous system recover make sure the quality of my next rep is high. And I would perform a set of 2 power cleans that are 1.3x my bodyweight, then rest for three to four minutes so that I can feel fresh for the next set. So even though I spend hours at the gym, the calories burned would probably account for 15-20% of my daily energy expenditure.

I’m having chicken salad with cheese and Romain lettuce. And a bowl of egg whites too soup with cucumbers, dates and some salt and pepper. Prior to this meal, I had some of my banana a protein cake for after workout quick replenishment. 1-to1 ratio of protein to carb works for me inter ms gaining strength while staying lean. Even prior to that, I started drinking protein shake with milk mid workout to kick start recovery. It keeps me hydrated as well. How do you guys recover after a workout or physical activity? @Bill Hazelton @Mike Pirie @Asha Hope
