How to make your post workout meal?

 

 

You put a lot of effort into your workouts, always finding ways to perform better to reach the goals you’ve set for yourself. There are chances that you’ve given more thought to your pre-workout meal than your post-workout meal.

There's a lot that goes into preparing a workout to help you attain your goals. You probably put a lot of thinking into your pre-workout food as part of that effort. But do you pay the same attention to your post-workout meal? It's a good idea to do so if you haven't already. It turns out that what you eat after you workout is equally as essential as what you eat before you exercise. 

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get the most out of your post-workout nourishment.

It's critical to eat after an exercise. 

It's crucial to understand how physical activity affects your body before you can grasp how the correct foods can aid you after you've exercised.Your muscles eat up glycogen, the body's primary fuel source, while you exercise, especially during high-intensity workouts. Your muscles will be somewhat drained of glycogen as a result of this. Some proteins in your muscles might also be damaged and broken down .Your body works to replace its glycogen stores, as well as repair and regrow muscle proteins, after a workout. Soon after you exercise, consuming the correct nutrients might assist your body in completing this task.

After your workout, it's very vital to eat carbs and protein. 

This benefits your body in the following ways: 

  • reduce the breakdown of muscular protein 
  • boost the production of muscle protein (growth) 
  • replenishing glycogen stores 
  • improve recovery
But consuming the right nutrients after you exercise is just as important as what you eat before your workout.
  • Protein helps your body to repair and build your muscle.
  • Carbs help you with recovery.
  • Fat is not bad it helps slows down digestion and inhibits the absorption of nutrients.

 

Snacks and meals to try after a workout 

Combinations of the foods described above can be used to make delicious meals that contain all of the nutrients you require following exercise. 

Here are some quick and easy meals to enjoy after your workout: 

  • grilled chicken with roasted vegetables and rice egg omelette on whole grain bread with avocado spread 
  • Sandwich on whole grain toast with salmon and sweet potato tuna salad. 
  • tuna accompanied by crackers 
  • cottage cheese and fruits oatmeal, whey protein, banana, and almonds 
  • pita bread with hummus, rice crackers with peanut butter, whole grain toast with almond butter, and almond butter cereal with dairy or soy milk 
  • Protein drink with Greek yoghurt, berries, and granola, and banana quinoa bowl with sweet potatoes.
