  1. Here’s a simple guide on when and what to eat after a workout:

    When to Eat:
    Aim to eat within 30 to 60 minutes after exercising. This “window” helps your body refuel and repair muscles efficiently.

    What to Eat:
    Protein: Helps repair and build muscle (e.g., chicken, fish, tofu, Greek yogurt, protein shake).

    Carbohydrates: Replenish glycogen stores for energy (e.g., rice, sweet potatoes, fruits, whole-grain bread).

    Healthy Fats: In moderate amounts to support overall recovery (e.g., avocado, nuts, olive oil).

    Example Post-Workout Meals:
    Grilled chicken with quinoa and steamed veggies

    Greek yogurt with berries and a drizzle of honey

    Protein smoothie with banana, spinach, and almond butter

    Whole-grain toast with peanut butter and sliced banana

    Drinking water is also essential to rehydrate after sweating.
