What to Eat After a Workout

Your post-workout meal should contribute to your overall daily nutrition.

The Short Answer

Your post-workout meal should contribute to your overall daily nutrition.

A combination of protein and carbohydrates can be practical after training.

Examples

  • Chicken + rice + vegetables
  • Paneer + roti
  • Dal + rice + vegetables
  • Eggs + roti
  • Greek yogurt + fruit + oats
  • Tofu + rice + vegetables

Do you Need to Eat Immediately?

Not necessarily.

The idea that you must consume protein within a tiny window immediately after training is exaggerated.

Overall daily protein and calorie intake matter more.
