Eat Like a Guinea Pig After Training

We cannot overlook the importance of replenishing ourselves after training. Our body runs on low glycogen level after exercising (at moderate intensity at least), which causes fatigue. In order to gain energy instantly, studies have recommended that we eat within 45 minutes after working out. Here’s a list of my favorite foods after I train in the morning:

  1. Hot cereals - oatmeal
  2. Dried cereals with low-fat or skim milk - Kashi’s Autumn Wheat or GoLean
  3. Boiled eggs
  4. Whole grain bread with low-fat cheese spread
  5. Bananas
  6. Citrus
  7. Cantaloupe
  8. Grapes
  9. Low-fat or fat-free yogurt (plain flavor, I add my own fresh fruits.)
  10. Dried fruits (to go with yogurt) - raisins,  craisins, apricots
