post evening workout snack?

rcallbeck

Hi there,

Sorry if this has been covered before.. I do my workouts in the evening (Tabata - high impact interval training) and wanetd to know if I should eat anything afterwards (like a piece of fruit, peanut butter etc), or if I should just drink some water and be done with it?

Thanks for the help!

Eat whatever fits into your calorie and macro target.

i like a smoothie with a banana, some strawberries, and some chocolate protein powder. Usually works out to about 300-400 cal and is AWESOME!

This is the best answer. But if you want a suggestion, I work out in the evenings too and my go-to is either a homemade trailmix (18 pistachios, 1 tbsp of dried cranberries or cherries, & 1/4 cup of bran flakes or cherrios) or Chocolate milk.

My favorites are chocolate milk and or cheerios depending on how many cals I need to replace. Sometimes I make a smoothie, sometimes I just eat the cookies on the counter i've been refraining from for the rest of the day.

I have a slushie after my cardio workouts (not a convenience store one, I have a mug that will crystallize pretty much any liquid and slowly freeze it until it's slushified, nothing added; just juice/apple cider/what have you). It's extremely refreshing, and the solidity of the slush tricks my mind into thinking I'm /eating/ something, rather than just drinking a glass of juice. On days I do strength training, I'll usually eat about two teaspoons of peanut butter straight out of the jar--scoop it out onto a spoon and lick it like an ice cream cone!
