Salmon with Chili Aioli Sandwich from Runner's World:
(for fat burning and reducing inflammation)
Swap your tuna salad for salmon and you'll get more inflammation-reducing omega-3s. Scientists in Japan found that capsaicin, the nutrient that gives chili sauces like sweet-spicy sriracha their kick, can increase fat-burning during exercise. Rye bread contains up to five grams of fiber per slice—more than whole wheat. Just make sure the first ingredient on the loaf is whole-rye flour or rye meal.
ASSEMBLE: Mix 3 tablespoons low-fat mayo and 1 teaspoon jarred sriracha chili sauce; set aside. Combine one 5-ounce can salmon, juice of 1/2 lemon, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 minced garlic clove, and salt to taste. Divide between 2 slices of rye; top each with arugula, tomato, half the aioli, and a second slice of rye.

Kris's Sweet Potato Krisps
As the director of sports nutrition for Penn State University's athletic department, Kristine Clark, Ph.D., suggests her sweet-potato slices as the perfect postrun snack. They also make a great appetizer dipped in salsa, wasabi sauce, or low-fat dressing. One serving will give you 90 percent of the DV for vitamin A.
Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/8" rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss sweet-potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread in a single layer on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Bake (turning every 10 minutes) for 30 to 40 minutes until brown and the edges curl. Cool slightly and sprinkle with sesame seeds and parsley.
