Post‑Workout Meals for Recovery: Fuel Right, Feel Better

The best post‑workout meals for recovery are simple: protein to repair muscle, carbs to refuel, and fluids to rehydrate. You don’t need fancy powders (though they’re convenient). Real food plus a plan will do the job.

Eat within an hour or two of training, especially after hard sessions.

Quick options

Greek yogurt with berries and oats; chicken, rice, and veggies; tofu stir‑fry with rice; omelet with potatoes and fruit. Aim for 25–40g protein and a fist of carbs.

Hydration counts

Drink water regularly; consider electrolytes if you sweat heavily or train in heat.
