Post Workout Nutrition

[http://www]

This is a topic that will get different opinions for sure.*

Some people will say you should get in macros right after your workout. Others will say it is not necessary as long as your consuming the set amount of daily calories/nutrients you need to hit each day...

While i agree to an extent, i believe there are Windows of timing to better utilize our nutrients we are consuming.*

Personally, i believe right after a workout is one of them. You just depleted your nutrients and glycogen stores. Some of your muscle proteins have been broken down.*

So naturally replenishing them is key to help rebuild your muscle protein and replenish your glycogen. This will help stimulate new muscle growth.

Consuming protein(amino acids) will help build and repair these proteins and new muscle tissue.

Your glycogen stores are used as fuel and depleted during exercise and strenuous activity, consuming carbs withiminutes after your workout will help replenish them .

Now consuming both protein and carbs together will maximize protein and glycogen synthesis.

What is everyones opinion?*

Do you take something after you workout?*

What do do you consume?

My fav is to eat a can of salmon with some club crackers after; sometimes I'll drink a protein shake and eat a granola bar, but I like the salmon best.
