Post Workout Nutrition Tips
Back to help you with your meal after training.
During training the glycogen stores have been reduced, or even depleted, and an oxidative state is established which will induce physiological and adaptation changes thereto. In order to restore glycogen stores and promote muscle resynthesis (recovery and construction of new muscle tissue) carbohydrates and protein intake are essential in the next 4-6 hours, at a ratio of 2-3: 1g per body weight.
