Hey guys! :) Newbie here :blushing: I was just wondering what are the best foods you can have after a pretty intense workout. I would also love to know what you eat after a workout. I'm extremely curious to know.

    This! My protein shake doesn't have the best taste but I just slam it so it's OK. Then, lunch with some protein, carbs and fat.

    shake or usually low fat fish (like cod or mahi mahi) if I get home in time (and it's defrosted).

    Usually breakfast! Eggs, toast, & fruit on weight days, oatmeal with yorgurt, walnuts, fruit, honey & cinnamon on run days, black coffee every single day!

    If I have a gap between the workout and breakfast, a glass of chocolate milk fills in until meal time.

    Woah.. Am I wrong to asume you workout on an empty stomach? My sister does it so I gave it a go and I honestly couldn't do it :( That crazy woman can even lift weights like a beast without breakfast.

    I hope you don't mind me asking but why a fast digesting carb? Not being one of those MFP carb psychos I just have a ton of questions and that's why I ask :)

    Usually a protein bar, or lunch. Or nothing. Depends what time it is and if I'm hungry or not.

    If you don't eat anything, do you think it's affected your weightloss success?
