What do you eat after a workout
Replies

I try to go with a 100 Calorie Muscle Milk drink. Either that or a Gatorade-Protein drink after a really long run.0
-
I eat dinner after working out. If I'm lifting, I have a protein shake immediately after, and then eat dinner.0

I have been told this is wrong and that you don't have to take anything after by a bunch of people.
I will keep taking mine within the hour cause it makes more sense to me!
If it makes more sense to you doing it that way, then that's great! All I am pointing out is that it has made a huge impact on me and my overall goals, and it may help this women achieve hers as well. Sometimes trying something new is a good thing:)0 -
Just Protein ISO mixed with Water.
If my sugar level are low, I mix with juice and include a banana.0 -
Protein shake with either milk or almond milk, berries and a banana. One scoop of protein powder after cardio or two scoops after a strength training routine.0

I'm a huge fan of 0% fat plain greek yogurt + fruit after workouts lately.
FAGE! love greek yogurt....mix in chocolate protein powder...its like pudding0 -
I have a protein shake. Sometimes I put peanut butter or yogurt or fruit in it. I get done exercising around 5:30 AM and my stomach can't handle real food that early but I need a little something or I don't feel right. I take breakfast stuff to work and eat it in my office around 8:ish (scrambled eggs and or yogurt).0

I usually make myself a Coconutmilk, banana + chocolate whey smoothie for right after lifting. A couple of hours later I fill up with a proper dinner For cardio, I just have a protein shake.0

Nothing for 1-2 hours.
This has nothing to do with broscience or glycogen storage or anything, just a preference as I tend to over eat if I eat right after a work out.0 -
I throw back a shake of chocolate protein and eggs.0
-
If I'm hungry I'll have a fruit smoothie, otherwise nothing.0

I have this same problem, which is why the Leangains model of Intermittent Fasting works so well for me. It literally RECOMMENDS that I eat fully half my calories for the day right after a workout. That works for me0 -
For me it's lunch........usually around 800 calories or so with lots of protein and carbs0
-
If I exercise for an hour or more and don't eat soon after I feel SICK! I try to eat something higher in protein, sometimes it might be a protein bar, but usually bacon and eggs!0

I was agreeing with you, sorry if it didn't sound that way. LOL0 -
When I get done with my workout, I go home and have a whey protein shake or 1/2 an Apple, handful of peanuts, crackers. I just not sure what I should eat... what do you do?
You can give me the other half of your apple.0 -
Breakfast! Lol!0

So you dont eat back your exercise calories.
I do, but not the instant that I get done.0 -
I drink a protein shake with soy milk, yogurt, and peanut butter in it. Main reason is because my blood sugar drops very low after a hard work out. Other reason is to put back the nutrients I burned in the work out. Then when I get home (usually 45 mins to an hour later), I eat salmon and some sort of carb.
I have made my after work out shake one of my many "small meals".0 -
I usually have whatever comes into my mind while I am running. Its kind of a carrot that focusses me on the goal. (not an actual carrot you understand)..... Last night I ran 75 mins and did 8 miles so fancied a fruit scone and it was great!0
-
My trainer insists we eat immediately after a workout. She suggest something crunchy like apples or carrots etc to rev
our metabolism. That's what I do.0 -
I usually workout late so I have water but now that i'm unemployed I'm working out 2/3 times a day. I try to eat very light things like fruit, yogurt, a few veggies.0
-
i don't drink alot of milk. So I was thinking of doing a protein shake with skim milk and seeing if that would work.0
