Post workout nutrition an often overlooked part of training! It’s important to adequately refuel energy stores, which promotes faster recovery and reduces delayed onset muscle soreness.
I aim to get a 2:1- 3:1 ratio of quick absorbing carbs:protein after intense exercise as part of a calorie controlled diet- especially after intense boxing, running or weight training.
Its also important to consider hydration and replacing water and electrolytes lost through exercise.
Personally if I don’t replenish carbs quickly I tend to feel a bit more sore in the following days, making post workout meal the most important meal of the day.
Do you prioritise your post workout meal within 60 mins of working out? Give this a like if you do, and let me know what your favourite post workout meal is?😋
