    Anything you want. Just make sure you're eating enough protein throughout the day. >0.8-1g per pound of body weight.

    Whatever my body craves within my caloric goals along with macros.

    I'm usually craving tuna or chicken then ice cream or pastries of some kind.

    Seeking to determine whether or not such a "window of opportunity" actually exists, health scientists Alan Aragon and Jon Schoenfield conducted a thorough review of the available literature. They discovered that evidence-based support is "far from definitive."

    Serious athletes and those interested in significant muscle growth were the only groups for which the potential benefits for post-workout nutrition could not be dismissed, they found.

    While a sufficient amount of protein and carbohydrates are needed to repair damaged muscle tissue and refill muscle glycogen stores following a workout (muscle glycogen is stored energy used to fuel moderate to high intensity exertions), the reviewers found that these requirements could easily be sated with a balanced diet and consuming a meal one or two hours before exercise.
