    Regional Nutrition Guide

    Hitting your macros with local Iowa & Illinois staples.

    P

    Lean Protein Sources

    Iowa is the #1 pork and egg producer in the US. Lean cuts like pork tenderloin offer 22g of protein per 3oz serving with very low fat. Opt for baked or grilled preparations instead of traditional breaded tenderloin sandwiches. Local corn-fed beef from regional farms is also excellent for muscle building.

    C

    Smart Carbohydrates

    While sweet corn is a Midwest staple, balance it with complex carbs. Visit local farmers markets in Davenport and Rock Island for seasonal squash, root vegetables, and locally grown oats to fuel your workouts around the Quad Cities.

    F

    Healthy Fats

    Incorporate regional dairy in moderation. Wisconsin and local Illinois dairies provide high-quality Greek yogurt and cottage cheese—excellent sources of both fats and slow-digesting casein protein for overnight recovery.

    These are general guidelines. If you have specific health conditions or weight loss goals, consider connecting with a registered dietitian in the Quad Cities area through our Directory.
