Answer To Your Fitness Questions" />Post Meal Workouts
November 28, 2007
So have you ever wanted to know what your post workout meal should be like? Next to breakfast this is your most important meal of the day. After you finish your workout, you have a window of opportunity of about 1-2 hours in which your body will absorb the nutrients up to 4 times better than at any other time of the day.
This is a wonderful benefit that you should look at! The reason being is that your blood sugar is low and needs to be replenished quickly and now is the time to get some of that sugar, the only time that you need the sugar. For this meal you should try to get 20-30 grams of sugar and about 60-100 grams of carbs total.
Also, 10-20 grams of protein according to your body size and intensity of workout! An example would be a bowl of cereal with skim or soy milk with a banana in it. It not only helps you to recover quicker but you will be less hungry the rest of the day!!
So GO For IT!!!
