Post workout eating: A generalized plan.

I'm not going to get into specifics about the foods you should eat. In the end all food is broken down by the body into either fats, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals  or fiber. Of course, I'm not referring to any synthetic foods when I say food. I mean food that is relatively unprocessed.

No question  without a doubt, after a workout the body needs protein to build muscle.  To a lesser extent, the body needs carbohydrates to replenish energy reserves. Fat  intake after a workout should be kept to negligible amounts because fats delay protein and carbohydrate absorption into the body.

After roughly twenty-four hours, your body is pretty much recovered. Click here to see how to time your meals.
