When your choosing meat and seafood at a store, use your eyes and nose to find the freshest product.
Check the texture to make sure it’s not slimy or ‘rain bowed’ meat. It’s harder to smell through the wrap they use, but try anyway.
Check the use by or sell by dates. If the package is leaking, put it down.
Bring a cooler with ice packs to the grocery (especially with these recent triple digit temperatures nationwide) to maintain proper meat and dairy temperatures, and prevent spoilage.
Eating fresh, lean proteins will help keep you feeling full, and help build muscle; just make sure it’s fresh.
