Pasta + Turkey and peppers


This is another healthy meal that I use especially as a post workout meal to replenish my carbohydrate and glycogen levels and fill me up after a tough gym session. Using 80 grams of wholemeal pasta, 100 grams of sliced turkey and a handful of chopped peppers. The wholemeal pasta is much lower is sugar and has a lower GI index than white pasta and is also more filling. The turkey, being a very lean meat is also a great source of protein without the added calories or fat count, so helps to even out the high carb pasta well. By adding peppers it gives the dish some flavour and vitamins including vitamin C and D.
