Cottage cheese and tuna

Okay so it maybe doesn't sound like the most delicious snack you've ever read about but it is crammed full with essential nutrients that your body needs to grow and develop. It also sticks to a good ratio for protein to carbs of almost 2:1.
This is a great snack to have after your workout as it contains 22 grams of carbs which will help to replenish your blood sugar levels with good low GI carbohydrates reather than a high glucose alternative. It is also crammed full of protein with 43 grams of protein for 3 different sources, ensuring that your body gets all of the amino acids it need to get into an anabolic state.

Simply get around 65 grams of cottage cheese (half a small tub) and spread on one round of whole meal toast (50grams). Then open one tin of tuna (125 grams drained) and tuck in.
