Here are 3 recipes for female powerlifters:

1. Tasty chicken meatballs.

What you need:

• 1lb ground chicken
• 90g rolled oats
• 2 onions
• 2 tablespoons mixed spices
• a pinch of salt and pepper

Preparation:

1. Begin by putting the pan on medium heat and grease/spray it lightly.
2.  Chop the onions finely.
3.  Mix the onions with rest of the ingredients.
4. Make small balls of even size ( you can use a spoon), this will ensure that the meatballs will cook evenly.
5. Fry the meatballs until they are  golden brown, check one of the meatballs to make sure that these are cooked.

I recommend having a nice salad on the side as this will go well with the meatballs.

2.Protein packed salmon and egg salad

What you need:

• 2  Salmon Cutlets ( make sure to remove the bones)

1. Quarter fill a deep wide pot or pan with water and bring to the boil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.

2. Place the salmon cutlets into the boiling  water, reduce the heat  and let it simmer  for ten minutes. Check if the salmon is cooked. Once the salmon has cooled down, you can cut them into small pieces.

3 . Boil your eggs and remove the shells and cut them into 4 pieces.

4. Wash and dry the mixed leaves and wash the tomatoes and cut them in halves.

5. Use extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and crushed garlic to make a nice healthy dressing.
