A proper workout can really make

you break a sweat. Anyone who

knows this also knows that a hard

workout means a hungry stomach.

Before you pop open your fridge

though, carefully consider what

you’ll be making your post workout

meal.

FOR DRINK

Page 6: Nutrition and Exercise: Foods to Eat After You Workout

First things first, you need water

after your workout. If you’ve just

undergone an especially sweaty

workout, say maybe in a hot room,

make sure you hydrate yourself

properly.

Electrolyte filled waters and

coconut water hydrate, while also

replenishing your energy. If no

electrolyte­filled or coconut water is

at hand, simply cut a slice of lemon,

lime, or orange and plop it into your

water for additional nutrition.

Have a nutrition­filled smoothie to

substitute for, or complement a

meal. Now, the possibilities you can

create with smoothies are endless,

FOR FOOD

Page 10: Nutrition and Exercise: Foods to Eat After You Workout

Eating a meal that is high in

nutrition is important after a long

workout. Depending on the time of

day of course, you will have to

change your meal strategy

according to earlier, or later meals.

Have a well balanced meal that

includes (some) fats,

carbohydrates, and proteins. 

Page 11: Nutrition and Exercise: Foods to Eat After You Workout

High protein foods are imperative to

building muscle. Lean foods, such

as meats are good choices. Stick

with chicken breasts, tuna, or

salmon if you go this route.

Otherwise, there are plenty of other

sources of protein you could look

into.

Sunflower seeds and pumpkin

seeds supply awesome amounts of

protein. Almonds, walnuts, peanuts

and yes, even peanut butter can

also supply healthy amounts of

protein.

Try eating a Peanut butter and

banana sandwich with whole grain

bread if you’re pressed for time!

Sheknows.com states that one

boiled egg can supply up to 6

grams of protein! Eat an omelette

with vegetables to add further

nutritional value.

Page 14: Nutrition and Exercise: Foods to Eat After You Workout

Legumes and vegetables are also

great sources of protein and other

nutrients. Salads with extra beans

and guacamole can provide you

with a healthy amount of calories

needed to carry you throughout

your day.

According to doyouyoga.com,

hummus with grain crackers can be

surprisingly filling, which is excellent

for a post workout snack. Of course,

we can’t forget our veggies!

Enjoy yourself a steamed plate of

veggies and sliced avocado for

dinner. Always try and create a

meal that is heavy in vegetables.
