Many strength athletes struggle with diet. Their goal is to clean it up, but not go on an ultra-strict bodybuilding diet. Protein pancakes are the perfect alternative and they taste great! They're extremely nutritious, are a great source of protein and contain high, good carbs. Thus, giving the strength athlete the energy they need to train hard. These wouldn't be recommended in most cases for a competition bodybuilder. Instead, protein pancakes are recommended for strength athletes and regular people with general fitness goals. The caloric level can be adjusted according to the ingredients. I've listed several options that will meet your needs calorie-wise and nutritionally. Give protein pancakes a try. They are one of my favorites.
