Meal Planning | In this latest episode we explore the benefits of Meal Planning. We all know that what we put into our bodies directly affects our performance. But sometimes it can be hard to get everything in on every meal. Meal Planning is about looking at your meals as a whole, not just individually, making sure you’re getting what you need over the course of a whole week rather than meal by meal. It doesn’t have to be too complicated to get your nutrition right, it just requires a little more planning and preparation. | 12/6/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Here we will learn the differences between plant-based proteins and animal-based proteins, when to eat, what protein snacks to have, and we may even shatter some protein myths. | 8/16/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Good stuff
I enjoyed the info and I enjoy cliffbars
Fun, different podcast
This podcast is exactly like the Clif Bar: you expect something effective, but a little dry... and then you're very pleasantly surprised. The podcast is a collection - almost like a mosaic - of voices from the Clif staff, all with experience to share. It's an unorthodox approach for an "educational" podcast, but it's great fun to listen to. The best part is the very obvious enthusiasm of the participants - because they're sharing personal stories, their excitement and humor comes through in their voices. It makes you want to get out and run immediately. Solid information, too - good advice in an entertaining package. I look forward to more!
Great Workout Resource!
I have been following this via Motion Traxx and am currently doing the Boot Camp podcast. It is challanging and very well presented. Can't wait to hear what else is in store!
