What to eat after a killer workout

Wondering What to Eat After that Killer Workout?

Your post-workout meal can make a big difference in recovery and results. You need fuel to function, and you need to function to see successes.

Remember these quick tips next time you reach for a post-exercise nosh:

1. After breaking a sweat, your muscles crave protein for repair and growth. Opt for lean sources like chicken, fish, hemp tofu, or plant-based options.

2. Carbs are your energy replenishers. Whole grains, sweet potatoes, or fruits help restore glycogen levels for your next workout.

3. Don’t forget to hydrate!

4. Balance the above options for best results! A protein smoothie with fruits and veggies can do wonders.

5. Try to refuel within 30 minutes to 2 hours post-workout for optimal recovery.

Remember, your body is your temple, and the right nutrition is your secret weapon!
