The Best Post Workout Meal
Did you know that getting your perfect body is so much more than lifting weights and cutting down on junk food? While it is easy to see improvement through hard work in the gym, you really need to find a way to improve yourself in the kitchen before success will really follow you. Today we are going to talk more about the best post workout meal that you can possibly have. Your post workout meal is going to end up as one of the most important meals you'll eat on your gym days. Let's find out why.
When you finish a hard workout it may be hard to think about cramming down some food. The truth is, if you don't eat right after your workout then you likely are going to end up wasting all of the work you just put in while you were at the gym. Let's break down the perfect post workout meal so that you can have a basis to work off of.
When you finish your workout you are going to need a few things right away: protein and carbohydrates. Your muscles are worn down and protein is the building block for muscular growth. That is why we suggest starting a simple post workout meal with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The peanut butter helps your muscles and the bread and jelly will give you a boost of sugar and carbohydrates to help get your energy levels back on point.
Next up we suggest looking to a protein shake. If you are trying to gain weight then utilize a 'weight gainer' which has added dextrose to pump up your calory count. Otherwise use your favorite protein blend with a glass of water or milk, blended well, to get your muscles back to growing.
