Must-Have Protein Foods for Post Workout
After a workout, it’s essential to get a good meal as quickly as possible. This will start your recovery, which is when you start to get stronger.
A key part of your recovery meal is protein. You need the protein to repair broken down muscle tissue, and grow back stronger.
Here are some must have protein foods for post workout:
Eggs – Eggs are the most complete whole food source of protein. They’re quick and easy to eat, stuffed full of nutrients, and have a lot of protein.
Red meat – Red meat contains a large amount of protein, along with other key nutrients for recovery; such as zinc, magnesium, B vitamins, and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Chicken breast – Chicken breast is one of the most popular healthy protein sources because it is cheap and easy to prepare, tastes good with just about anything, and is high in protein. It’s low in calories, so you can get plenty of important protein without eating too many total calories if you’re dieting.
Whey protein – Whey protein is a great solution if you’re pushed for time and want something you can grab on the go. Whole food sources are generally better, but a whey protein shake is a good alternative if you cannot get a proper meal. It ensures you get your protein needs covered, and start the recovery process quickly.
