6 Foods You should Certainly Eat Post Workout
Do you find yourself tired after working out in the gym?
Well, the chances are you might be taking a wrong diet you’re supposed to take post intense workout.
That being said, let’s discuss what all foods can help you recover from your workout fatigue in an instant and effective way:
Greek Yogurt
Unlike regular yogurt, Greek yogurt carries double the amount of essential nutrients and proteins. Moreover, it’s a reliable source of good carbs. So, mix yogurt with fruits or cereals. While it makes your meal more nutritious, it also makes it enjoyable and tasty—something that’s very important if you’re constantly on plain and boring food post workout.
You can also add fresh berries (packing micronutrients) that are known to combat muscle soreness and fatigue.
Fruits
Packed with healthy, very easily digested carbohydrates and enzymes, fruits help your whole body cave in nutrients so that they’re delivered to your sore and tired muscles. For example, pineapple having anti-inflammatory traits is best known for helping your muscles repair and recover.
On the other hand, Kiwi helps with digestion by breaking down all types of amino acids. Needless to mention, fruits are powerhouses of useful antioxidants, minerals and vitamins, so make it a habit to include fruits in your daily diet.
Protein Shake
Looking for an instant protein solution? Protein Shake is the best bet for you. This straightforward, simple thing lends you instant protein diet. Whether you go for vegetarian/vegan powder or whey protein, you can just arrive at a high protein powder with a good amount of adds-in such as peanut butter, fruits, and milk.
Eggs
You can enjoy eggs the way you want—over easy, scrambled, sunny side up, poached, or just hard-boiled as this is one food that’s packed with nutrients and proteins. And, don’t forget the yolk, you should eat it too.
A perfectly versatile food, you can eat them with a toast with some onions, peppers, avocado and lean turkey added to it for extra hint of protein.
Sandwich Wraps
For those who don’t know wholegrain wraps are packed with powerful wholesome carbs. Prepare yourself a chicken sandwich or a turkey and team it up with soup. Indeed, it’s a great meal if you’re particularly working out in afternoon.
Since wraps are handy you can enjoy them on your way back to office. While you eat veggies post gym, you should also add some wholegrain foods to your diet such as brown rice, quinoa, pasta and beans.
Wholegrain Breakfast Cereal
It goes without saying but cereals are good at any point of time—morning or evening. Perhaps, you can go for Kashi Golean—a very high-fiber, high-protein cereal that lends you with about 30 grams carbs, 13 grams protein, and 10 grams fiber. And, the meal is ideal for restoring your muscles’ energy.
You can also make it more healthy and nutritious by adding dairy yogurt or milk. Oatmeal is another substitute!
So, don’t think twice! Add one or more of foods to your daily post workout diet and say no to muscle fatigue and soreness instantly!
