Best thing to eat after a work out?

I like to drink a whey protein/water drink, or a banana with peanut butter is always great! Anything with protein is good, and always a tall glass of cold water!

Usually a protein shake (with 1% milk) or nuts or some honey on toast or some pb on toast.

a nice cold beer!

The easiest option would be a banana & or protein shake (with water), as these can be consumed as soon as you finish your workout. The best time your body needs the energy before it starts to undo all your hard work.

Think of it as coming out of the gym like your petrol light flashing in your car!! FILL UP ASAP, to stop the breakdown of the important parts. Simples!!!!
