What to Eat After a Workout
What to eat after training: protein, carbohydrates and water for better recovery, plus a simple post-workout meal idea from Royal Gym Alanya.
Post-workout nutrition is key to muscle growth and recovery. Here are practical tips for choosing the right meal.
The first few hours after training are an important window for your body to recover.
Protein
Protein is essential for repairing your muscles. Chicken, eggs, yoghurt, fish or pulses are all good choices.
Carbohydrates
To replace the energy you used in training, have rice, bulgur, oats or potatoes.
Water
Make sure you replace the fluid you lost through sweat. Make drinking at least 500 ml of water after training a habit.
Example meal
- Grilled chicken
- A bowl of rice
- A generous green salad
You can find meals suited to after your workout in the Healthy Kitchen at our gym.
