( Magnesium ) b. (Riboflavin ) c. (Selenium) d.(Vitamin C ) *****Answers***************** ~~~1.....3 ounces of chicken breast. 1 hardboiled egg (6.3 grams), 3-ounce chicken breast (24 grams), 1 cup milk (8 grams), 1 cup plain, fat-free yogurt (13 grams) ~~~2.....Turkey breast. Only foods that contain carbohydrates can help to replenish muscle glycogen stores. Turkey breast does not contain carbohydrates. ~~~3.....Steak. Fruits and vegetables contain the highest water content (plums are 92% water, potatoes contain approximately 76% water). Meats contain the least amount of water (an eye or round is 65% water). Plus, fruits, vegetables, and grains all contain some carbohydrates to help replenish glycogen stores. ~~~4.....Magnesium. Magnesium relaxes muscles, so when you don't consume enough on a daily basis, you may experience muscle cramping. *****Coming soon-- some more tue night classes!! Will post them in the gym or on line soon!
