THE PROBLEM: Shrinking muscles
The average guy loses six pounds of muscle by the time he's 50. But, in addition to lifting weights, you can protect your hard-earned muscles by feeding them a steady supply of high-quality protein.
THE FIX: Tuna. Ounce for ounce, it's one of the best sources of protein—and contains zero saturated fat. To grill your way to a better body, follow this muscle-building recipe from Men's Health cover model Gregg Avedon. Brush a 6-ounce tuna steak with olive oil, lightly season it with freshly ground pepper, and place it on a preheated grill. Grill until medium-rare to medium, for 7 to 10 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, mix 3 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water in a bowl, and microwave the ingredients for 30 seconds. When the tuna is ready to eat, drizzle a small amount of the warm sauce on top. For a perfect complement, pair the tuna with 1/2 cup of wild rice.
THE PROBLEM: You're a workaholic
Don't let long days at your desk undermine your healthy eating habits.
THE FIX: Order an inexpensive minifridge and have it shipped directly to your office. (We like the GE Spacemaker Compact Refrigerator; $130 at homedepot.com.) Stock it with food you won't be ashamed to carry into a meeting: pints of milk; individual packets of string cheese; a few ounces of turkey; and a couple of in-case-of-emergency microwave meals, such as Healthy Choice, Smart Ones and South Beach brands.
