Hello,
I'm new on a weight loss journey. Just wanted to know whether a boil egg and a banana together be eaten after workout session.
Can anyone help me out???

    You can eat whatever you want. Weight loss comes down to calories. What you eat affects health and satiety. I would personally think an egg and a banana would be a nice little mix of carbs, protein, and fat. Just log it :smile:

    I don't mean to be rude, but I'm genuinely curious why you think this might be a problem?

    Actually I'm a new to this journey. Don't know much about the mixture and collaboration of food. I don't want to ruin my workout effort cz while I've a PCOD, it really hurts to do 90 min HIIT & don't see even an inch loss.

    Eggs and bananas are in my rotation for post workout food. They have good nutrients and some protein and carbs.

    You don't really need to concern yourself with either food timing or combination as long as your overall diet is balanced with a focus on hitting your calorie and protein targets. Worrying about mixing and collaboration of foods is majoring in the minors.

    Don't worry about combination or timing. Just worry about total amount. To be frank, the vast majority of us recreational exercise & weight loss candidates do not work out hard enough nor long enough to make specific nutrition choices worth the effort.

    You're fine to eat whatever you want after a workout if you're hungry but you do not actually have to eat anything after a workout specifically to 'replenish' or 'build'. It's fine to wait until your next scheduled meal.

    ^^^ pretty much this unless you become a serious endurance athlete but generally speaking assuming you're eating enough carbs your glycogen is fully replenished in under a day.
