How soon to eat after exercising via Moriza

What determines how soon to eat after exercising? For best results in recovering from your workouts we suggest you consume food within 2 hours after your workout – the sooner the better. It is during this period that your body most readily absorbs the nutrients from your food. Your body will use the food to replenish its glycogen (carbohydrate) stores which will give you energy to continue on with your other activities. At the same time, protein will help your muscles to start repairing themselves for your next workout.

After exercising you need to consume some fluid plus food containing carbohydrates and some protein. An ideal post-workout meal is a protein shake which combines protein powder, frozen fruit and milk or water. This will get absorbed easily by the body and give it a quick start on the road to recovery. By eating right after your workout you recover quicker and give yourself the optimal chance to have a great workout the next time you hit the gym.
