I have a new favorite post-workout meal that packs in more than 60g of protein—YAZIO's chicken burrito recipe

I've always taken a relaxed attitude towards food. I’m lucky in that I enjoy cooking for myself and have the means to do it regularly, which makes it easier to follow a good diet.

But the more I exercise, the more determined I am to make sure I’m getting the basics right. Are there healthy servings of protein, carbs, fats and veg on the plate? Am I eating in line with the activity I'm doing?

With that last part, I often have to rely on guesswork, which is where a calorie-counting app like YAZIO comes in useful. Paired with calorie burn information from my fitness tracker, I can make sure what I'm eating roughly tallies with what I'm doing.

The other thing I like about calorie-counting apps is the recipes, and a YAZIO recipe video for a chicken burrito recently caught my eye on Instagram.

I made it one evening after completing a dumbbell arms workout at home, while I waited for my wife to return from an interval session at a running track. I loved how easy it was to make—I was even able to fine-tune some data on my fitness tracker while waiting for the chicken to fry.

I finished in under 20 minutes but next time I plan to prep the burritos ahead, saving the final step for after my workout. That way, I can enjoy them just after I’m done—really helpful when I'm trying to fit exercise into a lunch break.

Here's how to make it.
