Meals Fit 4 Life
Eating healthy meals is important to all athletes. I just discovered Meals Fit 4 Life that recently opened in Sterling Ridge near the Branch Crossing YMCA on 8000 McBeth Way. The shop offers pre-packaged healthy, tasty meals that are ready when you are. The menu includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and salads. Today I sampled a delicious chicken wrap that had lean chicken breast, parboiled rice, pico de gallo,and black beans in a wheat wrap. A great on the go meal!
Erin Schrier, Certified Nutrition & Wellness Consultant, is offering special complimentary consultation to Finish Strong athletes who sign up for the 30-day meal program. Meals Fit 4 Life is open M-F from 5:30am to 8pm, Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 7pm. For more info, contact 281-719-0139 or go to www.mealsfit4life.com.
