How to get lean: 25 ways to lose fat faster
Protein
should also feature prominently in your post-workout snack. Consuming a 20-gram
serving of protein from whey, meat, soy, eggs or dairy as soon as possible
after you strength train promotes muscle growth and repair. Although whole
foods are your best options, the International Society of Sports Nutrition notes that you may reach for a protein
supplement, such as whey protein powder, because it's convenient and offers an
optimal amino acid profile, especially after exercise.
Good
post-workout snacks also contain some carbohydrates to restore energy and to
further facilitate muscle building. Whole grains, fruits and vegetables are
quality sources of carbohydrates. Examples of good post-strength training
snacks include half of a turkey sandwich on whole-grain bread with lettuce and
tomato; a whey protein shake made with milk and berries; or grilled chicken
with brown rice.
