How to have a cheeky Nandos

Written By Vicky Newbold

Food served in restaurants tends to be high in saturated fat and salt so it’s not something to eat everyday, but you can still eat out and continue to support your training, performance and recovery with the right food choices. If you like flame-grilled Peri Peri Chicken, here are the recommendations for what to eat at Nando’s:

LOW CARB MEALS:

1/4 Chicken Breast

Either Corn on the Cob (Regular) or Macho Peas (Regular)

Long Stem Broccoli (Regular)

MEDIUM CARB MEALS:

Beanie Pitta or Grilled Chicken Wrap or Rainbow Salad Bowl

Long Stem Broccoli (Regular)

HIGH CARB MEALS:

1/4 Chicken Breast

Chips (Regular)

Rainbow Slaw

Or

Grilled Chicken Wrap 

Spicy Rice (Regular)

Spiced Grains and Butternut Squash

  • Low Carb Meals for mid-week Rest Days

  • Medium Carb Days for Training days and MD+1

  • High Carb Meals for MD-1/MD

p.s. can you tell I’m a big fan of veg?
