This week Gina has a tip related to every (well most) competitor’s favorite “approved” food… Peanut Butter.
Are you a nut butter lover… aren’t we all!!?? Choosing between almond butter and peanut butter, opt for the almond butter as it is alkaline and has six times the calcium, three times the amount of Vitamin E and twice the iron of peanut butter. Regardless of which you eat, always be sure to always by the Natural version which should contain nothing but ground up nuts and often salt.

On a side note. I agree with Gina on the natural nuts. My favorite all natural brand is Justin’s Nut Butter out of Boulder, Colorado. They have super convienent travel packs that work great for competitors and they won’t be taken away from you while traveling.
