Let’s find out what you should EAT after training to replenish your energy resources as effectively as possible!
You have just finished a morning/afternoon/evening training session. You have probably got two things on your mind. The first could be summed up by the exclamation “I’m so tired!”, but that would depend on the kind of training you have just done. The second thing (and in this case it does not matter what kind of training you have been doing) can be summed up by “I’m so hungry!”.
Having said all that, let’s take a look at what to eat AFTER training.

It is worth pointing something out straight away: post-training nutrition does not just mean the main meal after training, for example lunch after a morning session. That is because anything from 1 hour to 2-3 hours might go by from the moment you leave the water to when you sit down to eat.
That is why a post-training snack is so important.
After a relatively hard session, your body needs replenishing and a snack can certainly help restore, for example, your glycogen…
