🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ Should You Eat Right After Working Out?
Is Eating After Working Out Good for You?
Although it seems counterintuitive, eating after strenuous exercise can help you drop pounds by spurring muscle growth, which will ultimately help you burn more fat. To get the most out of your training, you’ll want to grab something that contains 15 to 25 grams of protein to help build muscle, plus some carbs to replenish all the glycogen you used up during exercise. Timing is key, too: Eating within 30 minutes after working out — when your blood flow is higher — ensures your muscles get the nutrients they need to repair and grow.
