Post-Workout Fueling

⚫ After a long day of training, your body has used up all its stored energy found in your muscles to power through your workout or game.

⚫ After your workout it is important to replenish all of that energy lost.

HOW DO WE DO THAT?

⚫ Make sure to include protein and carbohydrates during fueling.

⚫ This will allow you to replenish the energy lost with the help of carbohydrates and repair/build muscle with the help of protein.

⚫ Aim to eat within an hour after training or competition.

Here are some great post-workout snacks:

15-60 Minutes After Training

⚫ Recovery smoothie

⚫ Greek yogurt

⚫ Apple and peanut butter

⚫ Granola Bar

3-4 Hours After Training
