Post-Workout Fueling

  • After a long day of training, your body has used up all its stored energy found in your muscles to power through your workout or game.
  • After your workout it is important to replenish all of that energy lost.

How do we do that?

  • Make sure to include protein and carbohydrates during fueling.
  • This will allow you to replenish the energy lost with the help of carbohydrates and repair/build muscle with the help of protein.
  • Aim to eat within an hour after training or competition.

Here are some great post-workout snacks:
