Healthy Hannah Episode 19 - Go lean with protein

>>(Male Announcer) That's right, kids. It's time for Healthy Hannah's Healthy Choice Heroes. What healthy choices will they make this time? Ugh. Whats wrong? I don't feel so good. Eating that burger wasn't a good choice, especially before our pickup game. [touch-tone sounds] Need a referee for your basketball game? Ken is gonna sit this one out. Are you not feeling well? I thought a burger would keep me going. You ate a burger before basketball? With bacon. What did you have? I had a delicious grilled chicken sandwich with hummus, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, on a whole-wheat bun. There you go. I thought the protein would be good for me. Ground beef, like all meat, has protein, but it's loaded with fat. So is bacon. Chicken is a leaner source of protein, and hummus is packed with protein. That hamburger isn't good fuel for a workout. So I should have chosen chicken? Anytime you fuel up with protein, make sure it's lean. Your body can convert the protein into energy without the extra fat. What are some other choices? Cheese or milk-- low-fat or nonfat--are great sources of protein. Beans are low-fat and packed with protein. Yes! Great choices! Some seafood and soy are low in fat, great sources of protein to keep you scoring longer. Did you go lean with protein today? Slam dunk! >>(Male Announcer) Thats all for this edition of Healthy Hannah's Healthy Choice Heroes. Until next time... Learn, Choose, Live!
