It is important to note that while napping can be helpful at getting quality sleep and improving recovery, it should not replace sound sleep patterns. Make getting a good night’s sleep your top priority. Then to optimize recovery, utilize napping. When napping it is best not to do it too close to your normal bedtime. Napping late in the day can disrupt your sleep during the night and become a false economy. Generally, late morning or early afternoon naps work very well to improve recovery without impacting your normal sleep routine.
Keep the naps short. Taking 20-30 minute naps can help increase recovery and mental cognition. Napping for too long could result in sleep insomnia. The risk of this increases if you nap for longer than 30 minutes or late in the day.

Hydration is certainly an important factor to consider in your overall training performance and recovery. Drinking adequate amounts of water is critical to your health, energy levels, gym performance, and recovery.
I bet you know hydration is important, and I bet you are aware of your hydration during workouts. I’m also willing to wager you are less focused on it the rest of the time.
Increasing your awareness of hydration status, the other 23 hours of training days, and on rest days can have a large influence on recovery status. The human body about 60% water, so it should be fairly obvious that staying well hydrated is important.
Water aids all of our bodily functions. Amongst other things, optimal hydration levels allow for proper digestion, efficient nutrient uptake, oxygen delivery, temperature regulation, hormone production, and lower levels of strain on the heart. All of these factors play a part in training and recovery.
The simplest way to check your hydration status is to look at your p*e. If it is clear to a pale straw color, you are well hydrated. The darker your p*e, the less well hydrated you are.
A good target to shoot for is 0.04 liters per kilogram of bodyweight. For a 100kg (220lbs) person that is 4 litres per day (100 x 0.04 = 4). 4 litres are 135 fluid ounces. Your exact needs will depend on other factors like activity level, rate of perspiration, and ambient temperature. Begin with the 0.04 liters per KG recommendation and adjust as needed.

1. Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies
Nothing satisfies a sweet tooth better than brownies. These decadent brownies contain a chocolate triple threat of chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and chocolate egg whites. Then each brownie gets chocolate frosting AND a chocolate peanut butter drizzle. You won't believe you're eating a low calorie treat with 14g of protein!
2. Cookie Dough Protein Shake
This shake is best described as "liquid cookie dough." Garnishing this creamy protein shake with oats and chocolate chips really seals the deal. Tip: if you don't have maple extract (like most people...), sub real maple syrup for the extract and some of the sweetener.
3. Cinnamon Roll Protein Oatmeal
Lacking the time (and self control) to make a whole pan of cinnamon rolls? Try this cinnamon roll protein oatmeal next time you have a craving. There's even a cream cheese swirl to add freshly frosted flavor.

1. Clean Kung Pao Chicken
Sweet. Spicy. Delicious. Simple stir-frys are perfect for weeknight dinners. This one only dirties one pan and comes together in just a few minutes' prep time. Customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of chili paste and sriracha.
2. Roast Chicken Breasts with Garbanzo Beans, Tomatoes, and Paprika
Get ready to wow your guests with this deceptively simple protein-packed dinner. I’ve tested this with boneless breasts and it works just as well, so don't worry if that's all you have on hand. With whole cherry tomatoes and canned chickpeas, you’ll have this in the oven in no time. There's a bonus recipe included: shred any leftover chicken breasts for pita sandwiches the next day!
3. Crock Pot Chicken Taco Soup
When I hear people say that healthy cooking is too hard and too expensive, I can’t help but think of this crockpot staple. This hearty dinner is a cross between chili and soup. There’s no prep work involved, just place all of the (mostly canned) ingredients in the crock pot and come home to a filling, healthy dinner. The beer can be subbed for chicken broth if that better fits your macros/lifestyle.
4. Simple Turkey Chili
With your fireplace crackling and football on the TV, it can only mean one thing. It's chili season. This flavorful, lean turkey chili is perfect for cold nights. It tastes even better the next day, so feel free to double the recipe for meal prep!

Whether you're enjoying warm weather at the grill or stuck inside heating the oven for warmth, this easy chicken recipe is a winning dinner. Marinating the chicken pieces in a mixture of Greek yogurt and Greek spices yields a moist, flavorful meal. This would pair well with lemon orzo or wild rice and a fresh green salad on the side.
9. 20-Minute Light Mongolian Beef
This stir-fry classic is healthier than take out and almost as fast! Throw in some vegetables like broccoli and snap peas and serve over rice for a complete dinner.
10. One Skillet Chicken Cacciatore
I admit it. I can't resist a one-skillet recipe. This one packs a ton of flavor in one simmering skillet. Jarred tomato sauce means there's not too much work to prep this dish. You could use a frozen onion and pepper blend to save even more time. This would be decadent served over mashed potatoes, but perfectly comforting paired with rice.
