Orange County Personal Trainer Lists Post Workout Meals

by

 

One of the most important meals of the day and is actually the most people overlooked. The Post-workout meal, It is important because your body needs to repair after workouts and you need protein to do this.

Post-workout meals should consist of mainly protein and carbs. Try to avoid having a lot of fat because it slows down the digestion of the protein and carbs.

The best time to have your post-workout meal is as soon after the workout as you can. Try to keep it within 30 minutes of your workout then follow up with your normal meal 60-90 minutes later.

 

 

Here are some ideas for a quick post-workout meal.

1. Hummus and whole grain pita

1-2 Tablespoons or hummus with whole wheat pita the size of your hand

2. Protein shake with medium banana

Women drink 15-20 grams or protein and men 30-40 grams of protein

3. String cheese with small apple
