What do I eat after workout?

Everybody wants flat abs but how do you tone up your tummy?!

For this your post workout Meal will be your most important meal of the day. Because when you are finished with an intense workout you enter a catabolic state where your muscle glycogen is depleted and your muscle tissue starts breaking down due to the increased cortisol levels. So to reverse this state is to consume a quick digestible post workout meal as soon as you can after training.

Means you can have a yummy healthy meal instead of those expensive post workout supplement formulations that the fancy ads talk about! Natural is always better

The goal is to choose a meal with easily digestible quick carbs to replenish muscle

glycogen as well as quickly digestible protein to provide the amino acids needed to jump

start muscular repair.

Your post workout meal should contain anywhere from a 2:1 ratio to a 4:1 ratio of carbs:protiens. While most of your other daily meals should contain a source of healthy

fats, keep the fat content of your post-workout meal to a bare minimum, since fat slows

the absorption of the meal, which is the opposite of what you want after a workout.
