Best Post-Workout Foods
Protein and carbs are the two ingredients in a good post-workout meal. You should have your post-workout meal within 20-40 minutes of cooling down.
- Eggs have 70 calories each but pack 6.3 grams of protein. You can have boiled eggs immediately after workout since it hardly takes any time. You can also have egg salad, recipe here.
- Banana has good carbs and pottasium too.
- Salmon – protein + Omega 3 fattty acid
- Fruits like Pineapple, Kiwi that are rich in anti-oxidants
- Low fat yoghurt with fruit
- Tuna – Low in fat, rich in protein and omega 3 fatty acid
- Protein shake – I will update on a protein supplement soon.
