Muscle Maintenance.

Protein is our source for muscle maintenance, building and repair. And monounsaturated fats, the kind you get from avocados, nuts and California Ripe Olives among other things, aid with vitamin absorption. So besides adding variety and flavor to an otherwise boring diet, proteins and fats earn their right to be at an athlete's table.

Of course, the types of proteins and fats you choose is key. Lean meats and poultry are the best. Stick with those and you'll avoid lots of saturated fats.

Now, here's a little something you can serve up hot or cold. A combo of lean meat and the right kind of fats, this full-flavored feast will make you champion of the grill for at least one night.
