The Perfect Post Workout Meal

5 Comments

If you’ve been following along (click here if you haven’t), I started a quest for fitness about five months ago. I wanted to transform my lifestyle, so that’s exactly what I did. I feel better than I ever have before and I lost nearly 40 pounds (at last check) in the process.

I’m far from perfect, but I’m learning a lot as I go. One of the things I’ve figured out is that I don’t like to eat a full meal after I workout. I need something that will make an impact, but it needs to be simple. This is the option that I go with almost every day:

Like I said…SIMPLE!

There’s a misconception that protein shakes are only for dudes who are trying to get big muscles. That’s not the truth. Protein (including shakes) is essential for everyone’s diet. Women who workout (even if you’re just doing cardio) can benefit from this post workout meal as well. A protein shake doesn’t have to equal HUGE muscles…they help you recover quickly and they can help you get lean in the process (and I think everyone likes that idea).

Do you have a favorite post workout meal? I would love to know what it is! I’m also open to any questions you might have about fitness, sports, etc. Feel free to leave a comment below, get in touch with me on Twitter @lewissports, like my page on Facebook, or email me at tim@timlewissports.com. I look forward to hearing from you!!!

    AdvoCare’s Post Workout Recovery shake, and a piece of fruit, and I’m good to go. Good proteins, good carbs, and branch chain amino acids – all quality ingredients that will feed your body! And those blender bottles are awesome – we’ve got ‘em at home and our offices. I don’t know about that banana though. One look at that, and I’d be smashing it up for bread, or pancakes, or something!

    geesh!! 40lbs, man that’s impressive. I’ve been studying health for several years and everything in the video is dead on. I found a gov. study finding immediate protein intake gives the best results for strength increase, just like Tim says.

    Thanks for the compliment! I’m glad to hear that I truly know the basics about working out and dieting (I’m not just fooling myself). Do you have a favorite post workout meal?

    Thanks for sharing your favorite post workout meal! The blender bottles are awesome (even though I think I called it a shaker bottle in my video)! I don’t know what’s up the bananas I buy. I can’t get through them fast enough even though I usually eat one every day. It looks funky, but it still tastes OK. :)
