Tip Of the Month
Eating after training what to eat and how much to eat depends on your workout intensity and duration. A person who does only 15 minutes of brisk walk should definitely not eating the same as an athlete who does an hour of weight training in the gym. Also, knowing what to eat will help you to plan what to prepare for post-workout meal ahead of time. When we exercise at a moderate to high intensity level, we actually deplete energy in the form of glycogen (stored in our muscle and liver cells). Our brain relies on this glycogen for fuel. If we do not replenish this energy storage after our workout, muscle tissue will be broken into usable energy source. By not eating anything will therefore result in muscle loss. When we lose muscle, our metabolism will slow down. Subsequently, weight loss will become even more difficult. Therefore, we should eat within an hour right after the workout.

If you just completed a cardiovascular exercise, you should consume fibrous carbohydrate. A good post cardio food include fruit salad, yogurt, brown rice, oatmeal, cereal, toast and all natural peanut butter.
