Siggi’s Skyr and Fitness
When it comes to fitness, what you eat after or before your workout is just as important as your workout. Whether your goal is to lose weight or gain mass, what you put in your body as fuel is important. Everytime you finish a workout, your body starts repairing itself and its energy stores. If you are looking to build mass and repair torn muscle tissue, Siggi’s Skyr and Fitness go hand in hand with making that happen.
Just what exactly is Skyr and why eat it instead of other yogurts? Well for one, it isn’t actually yogurt but it resembles it greatly. It originates from Iceland and uses skim milk to make a very textured, creamy and thick dairy product, similar to Greek Yogurt. The difference is that it boasts a lot more protein per serving and less fat and carbohydrates.
This is ideal for those looking to build a bit of mass following their workouts. However, it is important to still ensure you are meeting your other macro nutrient goals
