The Post Workout Meal

The post workout meal (the meal you eat after a workout) is probably the most important meal of the day for anyone who is into nutrition and fitness. The truth is, once you understand the basics of what nutrients your body needs and doesn't need after your workout, and what the best sources are to get this nutrition from, the post workout meal will probably become the most simple and quick meal of your day.

 

Aside from water your post workout meal needs to contain 2 things. You should be eating protein and carbs.

At this point you should really have just 3 questions about your post workout meal:

1 - How soon should I eat it? 
2 - How much protein and how many carbs should I eat? 
3 - What foods should the protein and carbs be coming from?

Hey, what a coincidence, we will chat about those answers this week.
