The reality star's nutritionist recommends you eat seafood like salmon, black cod, arctic char and sea bass at night. "You increase your intake of omega fatty acids, which helps with deeper sleep, increased growth-hormone release and a reduction of inflammation," Kardashin writes.

LEAN RED MEAT

"Eating lean red meats[...]especially in the evening will provide a huge boost in energy the following day for early morning training. Red meat is also a source of iron that will increase hematocrit levels (the percentage of red blood cells in your blood), resulting in improved endurance capacity for your cardio training sessions."

Kardashian says these are a "MUST" for staying healthy. "The iron content of foods like asparagus, spinach, kale and rapini will increase the oxygen in your red blood cells, which will increase your endurance when working out and provide you with consistent energy."

"Lean meats like chicken and turkey breast are a great source of protein for tissue repair," says Kardashian. But not if it's fried! "Instead, try broiling, grilling, poaching, steaming or baking," she adds.

Ina Garten's perfect roast chicken is a great place to start.

Says Kardashian: "Not only do tree nuts like almonds, walnuts and cashews offer an incredible source of energy and protein, but studies show that the heart-healthy legumes also help keep your cholesterol down, lower levels of heart disease-causing inflammation, improve the health of your artery lining and reduce your risk of developing blood clots that can lead to a heart attack."
