Post workout breakfast:
It’s crucial to eat a meal or snack containing protein, carbs and healthy fats-omega 3 and calcium after a training session
.
Your body is resetting to a normal HR and needs all the help from food to get what it needs to replenish the glycogen and repair the muscles you just used
.
A slice of sourdough with one egg and 1 egg white, with spinach, lots of water and a good cup of americano is a very simple example but so efficient and tasty!
.
Eggs are great after sports, they are so rich in nutrients:
1)very good source of inexpensive, high-quality protein. More than half the protein of an egg is found in the egg white
2)in the egg white there’s also vitamin B2
3)rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper
4)They are a source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K
5)they contain all nine essential amino acids, the ones we cannot synthesise in our bodies and must obtain from our diet
.
If you train consistently throughout the week, train for endurance events such as @ironmantri #marathons or cycling sportives or you take #crossfit seriously, try to eat a balanced meal like this within 30minutes from the end of your session to avoid lacks of nutrients and fatigue for the next sessions you have to do
.
Your training capacity depends extremely on your recovery and EACH solid session can be damaged if you don’t replenish your body
