Question : I have eaten XXXXXXX cups and my forehead starts to sweat and my triceps have a burning fatigue feeling. Afterwards for days my workouts seriously suffer. Is it the chocolates and or peanut butter causing this?

Brief Answer: Suspect Peanut allergy Detailed Answer: Hi dear.Thanks for giving an opportunity for addressing your query. I were to suspect peanut allergy which is one of the most common food allergies due to overreaction of the immune system to peanuts.Since it is sometimes fatal or dangerous, I suggest to avoid intake of peanuts in any form in your diet. Alternate protein sources like yoghurt, cheese, quinoa or eggs equally help muscle building post workout. Hope this answers your query.
