    I believe most quorn products are high in salt so I'm going to say no not particularly good however I'm sure someone will come along and correct me :)

    Don't eat Quorn while weight training. Eat Quorn sometime before or after :)

    Protein is especially important if you strength train to aid in muscle repair and development. Quorn is a good lean protein source, if you like it, then eat it.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't mo a runner? .... different athletes have different diets , the op mentioned weight training .

    Scroll down to the chart and check sodium.
