RECHARGE The perfect 3:1 carbs to protein ratio replenishes energy stores and restores tired muscles. Glycogen stores give you the energy to work hard next time. REBUILD Essential amino acids and protein build muscle back. Whey and casein protein repair muscles after repetitive exercise. REHYDRATE Natural electrolytes and water help you recover what’s lost in sweat. Calcium, magnesium, and potassium help prevent cramping. |

WHY EAT AFTER EXERCISE? Fueling after exercise:
- Replenishes depleted glycogen (aka energy) stores.
- Improves recovery.
- Refuels for your next workout.
|
WHEN SHOULD I EAT?
Consume a snack immediately after exercise, and then a meal around 2 hours later. |
WHAT SHOULD I EAT?
Post-exercise snack/meal should contain these three components:
- Carbs to replenish glycogen stores.
- Protein to stimulate muscle growth and recovery.
- Fluids to rehydrate.
