BUS 449a What to eat after...

Hello, bunch of fitness freaks!
The second post this week is dedicated to what to consume after a training session.
Let your body take a break from the long workout first. It won't feel nice if you start eating immediately after. If you're starving and cannot make it, though, eat a piece of fruit with a cup of tea. It will fill you up enough so you can take a shower and prepare your meal in peace. (not bothered by those noisy rumbles coming from your stomach)
The best choice for an after-workout dish - grilled chicken or fish garnished with steamed or grilled veggies. It's a great option as it satisfies your hunger but will leave you feeling light and comfortable for the rest of the day.
My next suggestion for you is a whole-wheat sandwich. Use some meat of your choice but chicken and fish would be the best. Don't forget to add some veggies. Tomatoes and spinach will boost your energy again once you've left the gym and feel exhausted.
The last idea I'd like to share with you tonight is to have an omelet. This is a very easy meal, won't take you a long time when you're starving after the training and you don't have another option that has already been cooked. Be careful with the oil and the cheese, add some veggies and enjoy:) Let me know what's you favorite food after training in the comments below:))

  1. I like the idea with the sandwich but whole-wheat, really? Other than that, tuna is awesome!

  2. I know a lot of people who don't like whole-wheat. I don't know why - I think it tastes much better than white bread. And it's much healthier for sure
