You SHOULD be eating good after a workout. In fact, just an orange isn't going to cut it. You need a balanced meal ESPECIALLY after a workout as well as throughout the day. The proteins, carbs and fats give the body the fuel and nutrients it needs to refuel and recover properly. And YES, there are healthy fats. The fruits and vegetables also provide nutrients and allow for more effective digestion. As far as water goes, well you always need water and after a workout you're less hydrated than you normally would be so definitely make sure you're drinking water.

You are supposed to eat after workout. Some carbs + protein. Milk, eggs, nuts (watch out it may be roasted in oil with shitload of salt), as much fruits as you want, some sort of complex carbs.

[Asker]

Okay, so it's okay to eat late at night?

[ATPPC]

If it's healthy it's ok. Imao a calorie is a calorie, although that's arguable.

FYI I frequently drink half a litre of 2% milk and eat a carrot and an orange/apple right before bed. Altogether 300 something calories. I'm 5'10, 160lbs and not gaining any weight from that. Just note everyone is different though...

Yes but dont buy into all the protien shake, muscle milk, and supplement sht. Drink a glass of water first. Then just make some salad, eat some protein, nuts, fruit etc.. avoid starches (corn) .. lol not a good idea..

[Drooogie4]

Always drink water. Yes.
And something with carbs and protein.
Fruit is good post workout.
I always crave fruit. And i like to stirfry some veggies and tempeh. That hits the spot.

Sweet. Thx!

you are losing salt from all that sweating so that is probably why you cave it eat some protein after a workout Greek yogurt with some fruit is good and low cal or have some fish which is ideal the lighter color the flesh the better it is for you

[Asker]

Great. Thank you

i like to eat a bunch of carbs and protein, carbs to replenish glycogen stores. But that's for heavy weight lifting.

whatever you do, don't starve yourself. I usually eat chicken breast with a salad. orange after a workout won't curb your hunger.

I personally like eating a peace of wheat toast with peanut butter and a banana!! Sooooo good 😋😋😋

[Tomboy_Cool]

after working out you need post workout, in short you need to eat something so your muscles can recover, eat something healthy after working out.

Dates are best with glass of milk after workout even late night
