Every athlete's diet must include protein.

That's why turkey is the main ingredient today, as it will provide the body with the energy it needs during training. It has a low fat content (less than 1%), which makes it perfect for people on a diet. Added to the variety with millet and broccoli, it will be a great idea for a quick and healthy lunch .
