The post-workout meal
Replenishing your energy tank after a workout can be difficult. So, what can you eat to ensure that your body gets all the nutrients it uses while you exercise? The key is a big, nutritious meal after you get home and relax.
It is recommended that you get a meal during your recovery window, which goes for up to an hour after you are done exercising. This meal should have plenty of adequate protein, carbohydrates, and calories.
