We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

And here are some ideas for post-workout meals on reduction:

What to eat after workout on reduction?

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes.

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Vegetables and baked fish on a plate

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

And here are some ideas for post-workout meals on reduction:

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post workout dinner

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Cut the meat into slices. Slice the courgette and cut the bell pepper into strips. Boil the tomatoes, peel them and cut into cubes. Sprinkle the chicken with oil and rub it with spices (chili pepper, sweet paprika, turmeric, oregano, thyme and garlic). Then fry the meat on a spoon of oil. Remove the chicken from the frying pan for a moment, put the courgette and pepper and fry them. Sprinkle with basil and oregano. After 3 minutes add the meat and tomatoes, which were removed from the pan earlier. Stew the dish for 20 minutes, stirring from time to time. Season to taste. Serve with pearl barley and lettuce.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Grind the fish with a blender. Add graham cakes, flour, parsley and 1 spoonful of dill. Break the egg in, add salt and pepper. Knead into a compact, smooth mass. Form meatballs, which you put into boiling water. Cook over low heat for a few minutes. Pour 150 ml of vegetable stock into a saucepan. Add yoghurt, 2 large spoons of dill, salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Cook over low heat for a few minutes until the water has partially evaporated and the consistency is thick. Throw the meatballs into the sauce. Serve the dish with wholemeal pasta and cooked Brussels sprouts or green beans.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Prepare: 5 eggs, half a cube of feta cheese, half a broccoli cooked and shredded into small pieces, half a can of corn, salt, sweet paprika and chili pepper

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Crack the eggs into a large bowl and scramble them with a fork. Add salt, chili pepper, broccoli, corn, crumbled or finely diced feta cheese. Mix gently. Pour the mixture into a silicone muffin tin (to ¾ of the height of each cavity). Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake muffins for about 12 minutes. Serve with light vegetable salad (e.g. from tomato, pickled cucumber and pepper).

Cottage cheese pancakes from the oven

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

We prepare: 250 g semi-fat cottage cheese, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons wholemeal flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, a pinch of salt, half a teaspoon baking powder.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Grind the cottage cheese with a fork. Add eggs, flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Mix. Knead into a compact, smooth mass of such consistency that you can easily form pancakes from it. If necessary, you can add a little more wholemeal flour. Place the formed patties on a baking tray greased with olive oil, or on baking paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 20 minutes (until browned).

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Vegetables and baked fish on a plate
<!– /wp:image –>

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

And here are some ideas for post-workout meals on reduction:

Sprinkle the chicken with oil and rub it with spices (chili pepper, sweet paprika, turmeric, oregano, thyme and garlic). Then fry the meat on a spoon of oil. Remove the chicken from the frying pan for a moment, put the courgette and pepper and fry them. Sprinkle with basil and oregano. After 3 minutes add the meat and tomatoes, which were removed from the pan earlier. Stew the dish for 20 minutes, stirring from time to time. Season to taste. Serve with pearl barley and lettuce.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Grind the fish with a blender. Add graham cakes, flour, parsley and 1 spoonful of dill. Break the egg in, add salt and pepper. Knead into a compact, smooth mass. Form meatballs, which you put into boiling water. Cook over low heat for a few minutes. Pour 150 ml of vegetable stock into a saucepan. Add yoghurt, 2 large spoons of dill, salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Cook over low heat for a few minutes until the water has partially evaporated and the consistency is thick. Throw the meatballs into the sauce.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

We prepare: 250 g semi-fat cottage cheese, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons wholemeal flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, a pinch of salt, half a teaspoon baking powder.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Grind the cottage cheese with a fork. Add eggs, flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Mix. Knead into a compact, smooth mass of such consistency that you can easily form pancakes from it. If necessary, you can add a little more wholemeal flour. Place the formed patties on a baking tray greased with olive oil, or on baking paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 20 minutes (until browned).

What to eat after strength training – big, valuable meal

<!– /wp:heading –>
rice with stew on a plate
<!– /wp:image –>

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after strength training – examples of dishes

<!– /wp:heading –>

Here are examples of proven, nutritious and productive in terms of muscle modeling post-workout meals. They are versatile enough that we can use them regardless of whether we train in the morning, at noon or in the evening.

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after strength training – big, valuable meal

<!– /wp:heading –>
rice with stew on a plate
<!– /wp:image –>

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal.

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

, so they are very suitable for a small meal immediately after strength training. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The meal immediately after exercise can also include a small portion of protein rich in valuable amino acids for the muscles and electrolytes. An interesting patent for such a post-workout energy boost are homemade shakes such as blended fruit and buttermilk or rice and yogurt. We can also use ready-made nutrients and snacks for training

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Vegetables and baked fish on a plate

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

And here are some ideas for post-workout meals on reduction:

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Grind the cottage cheese with a fork. Add eggs, flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Mix. Knead into a compact, smooth mass of such consistency that you can easily form pancakes from it. If necessary, you can add a little more wholemeal flour. Place the formed patties on a baking tray greased with olive oil, or on baking paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 20 minutes (until browned).

On the other hand, a large meal after training should already be highly substantial. Adepts of mass training are recommended to reach for a large portion of easily digestible simple carbohydrates such as white rice during the post-workout meal – this allows you to generously nourish your muscles, avoid catabolism and compensate for the loss of glycogen

in the muscles and liver. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

After a hard, strenuous workout for mass, it is also very important to replenish fluids

to prevent dehydration. You can use mineral water or isotonic drink for this purpose. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat immediately after strength training – quick fuel replenishment

<!– /wp:heading –>

Each strength training is associated with high energy consumption by the muscles. If you don’t replenish this energy in time after strenuous exercise, you will fall into a state of short-term malnutrition, whose consequence will be catabolism (breakdown of larger, complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones). Catabolic processes occur to balance the energy balance

in the body and result in the breakdown of muscle tissue. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

, so they are very suitable for a small meal immediately after strength training. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The meal immediately after exercise can also include a small portion of protein rich in valuable amino acids for the muscles and electrolytes. An interesting patent for such a post-workout energy boost are homemade shakes such as blended fruit and buttermilk or rice and yogurt. We can also use ready-made nutrients and snacks for training

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Examples of snacks immediately after training

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • 2 bananas
  • Rice waffles and isotonic drink
  • biscuit and 0.5 l milk
  • 0.5 l strawberry buttermilk, large banana
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, bran and raspberries

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

We prepare: 250 g semi-fat cottage cheese, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons wholemeal flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, a pinch of salt, half a teaspoon baking powder.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Grind the cottage cheese with a fork. Add eggs, flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Mix. Knead into a compact, smooth mass of such consistency that you can easily form pancakes from it. If necessary, you can add a little more wholemeal flour. Place the formed patties on a baking tray greased with olive oil, or on baking paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 20 minutes (until browned).

A post-workout meal for mass should consist of two parts. The first, a small meal, consisting mainly of carbohydrates, eat immediately after exercise (up to 20 minutes after), and the second, a large meal of high nutritional value and considerable calories, eat up to 2 hours after exercise

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>.

As for a small meal immediately after training, it can be a simple, quick snack such as: protein bar, banana, smoothie. It is only meant to temporarily “feed” exhausted muscles and initially replenish glycogen stores in the muscles, so it doesn’t have to be a fancy dish. We can consume it at the end or immediately after exercise, or during the return home if we attend a gym.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

On the other hand, a large meal after training should already be highly substantial. Adepts of mass training are recommended to reach for a large portion of easily digestible simple carbohydrates such as white rice during the post-workout meal – this allows you to generously nourish your muscles, avoid catabolism and compensate for the loss of glycogen

in the muscles and liver. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

After a hard, strenuous workout for mass, it is also very important to replenish fluids

to prevent dehydration. You can use mineral water or isotonic drink for this purpose. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat immediately after strength training – quick fuel replenishment

<!– /wp:heading –>

Each strength training is associated with high energy consumption by the muscles. If you don’t replenish this energy in time after strenuous exercise, you will fall into a state of short-term malnutrition, whose consequence will be catabolism (breakdown of larger, complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones). Catabolic processes occur to balance the energy balance

in the body and result in the breakdown of muscle tissue. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

, so they are very suitable for a small meal immediately after strength training. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The meal immediately after exercise can also include a small portion of protein rich in valuable amino acids for the muscles and electrolytes. An interesting patent for such a post-workout energy boost are homemade shakes such as blended fruit and buttermilk or rice and yogurt. We can also use ready-made nutrients and snacks for training

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– /wp:heading –>

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after strength training – big, valuable meal

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Vegetables and baked fish on a plate
<!– /wp:image –>

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

And here are some ideas for post-workout meals on reduction:

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Mini chicken breast steaks with courgettes, mushrooms, tomato and peppers

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Prepare: half a chicken breast, 1 zucchini, 2 tomatoes and 1 pepper.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Cut the meat into slices. Slice the courgette and cut the bell pepper into strips. Boil the tomatoes, peel them and cut into cubes. Sprinkle the chicken with oil and rub it with spices (chili pepper, sweet paprika, turmeric, oregano, thyme and garlic). Then fry the meat on a spoon of oil. Remove the chicken from the frying pan for a moment, put the courgette and pepper and fry them. Sprinkle with basil and oregano. After 3 minutes add the meat and tomatoes, which were removed from the pan earlier. Stew the dish for 20 minutes, stirring from time to time. Season to taste. Serve with pearl barley and lettuce.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Fish balls in dill sauce

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Prepare: 0.5 kg fillets of pollock, hake or cod, 1 graham soaked in milk, 2 heaping spoonfuls of wholemeal flour, 1 small egg, 3 heaping spoonfuls of chopped dill, 2 heaping spoonfuls of chopped parsley, salt, pepper, 150 ml Greek yoghurt, 150 ml vegetable stock.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Grind the fish with a blender. Add graham cakes, flour, parsley and 1 spoonful of dill. Break the egg in, add salt and pepper. Knead into a compact, smooth mass. Form meatballs, which you put into boiling water. Cook over low heat for a few minutes. Pour 150 ml of vegetable stock into a saucepan. Add yoghurt, 2 large spoons of dill, salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Cook over low heat for a few minutes until the water has partially evaporated and the consistency is thick. Throw the meatballs into the sauce. Serve the dish with wholemeal pasta and cooked Brussels sprouts or green beans.

Egg muffins with feta cheese, broccoli and corn

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Prepare: 5 eggs, half a cube of feta cheese, half a broccoli cooked and shredded into small pieces, half a can of corn, salt, sweet paprika and chili pepper

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Crack the eggs into a large bowl and scramble them with a fork. Add salt, chili pepper, broccoli, corn, crumbled or finely diced feta cheese. Mix gently. Pour the mixture into a silicone muffin tin (to ¾ of the height of each cavity). Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake muffins for about 12 minutes. Serve with light vegetable salad (e.g. from tomato, pickled cucumber and pepper).

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Cottage cheese pancakes from the oven

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

We prepare: 250 g semi-fat cottage cheese, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons wholemeal flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, a pinch of salt, half a teaspoon baking powder.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Grind the cottage cheese with a fork. Add eggs, flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Mix. Knead into a compact, smooth mass of such consistency that you can easily form pancakes from it. If necessary, you can add a little more wholemeal flour. Place the formed patties on a baking tray greased with olive oil, or on baking paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 20 minutes (until browned).

What to eat after training for mass?

<!– /wp:heading –>
male trainer at the gym
<!– /wp:image –>

If we train for mass, properly composed post-workout meal is of great importance for the success of our training plan. It determines whether our muscles will receive the building blocks to grow

, or whether due to the lack of fuel, exhausted by the heavy effort during exercise, they will start to draw energy from their own resources, in other words, instead of growing, they will start to shrink. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal for mass should consist of two parts. The first, a small meal, consisting mainly of carbohydrates, eat immediately after exercise (up to 20 minutes after), and the second, a large meal of high nutritional value and considerable calories, eat up to 2 hours after exercise

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>.

As for a small meal immediately after training, it can be a simple, quick snack such as: protein bar, banana, smoothie. It is only meant to temporarily “feed” exhausted muscles and initially replenish glycogen stores in the muscles, so it doesn’t have to be a fancy dish. We can consume it at the end or immediately after exercise, or during the return home if we attend a gym.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

On the other hand, a large meal after training should already be highly substantial. Adepts of mass training are recommended to reach for a large portion of easily digestible simple carbohydrates such as white rice during the post-workout meal – this allows you to generously nourish your muscles, avoid catabolism and compensate for the loss of glycogen

in the muscles and liver. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

After a hard, strenuous workout for mass, it is also very important to replenish fluids

to prevent dehydration. You can use mineral water or isotonic drink for this purpose. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat immediately after strength training – quick fuel replenishment

<!– /wp:heading –>

Each strength training is associated with high energy consumption by the muscles. If you don’t replenish this energy in time after strenuous exercise, you will fall into a state of short-term malnutrition, whose consequence will be catabolism (breakdown of larger, complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones). Catabolic processes occur to balance the energy balance

in the body and result in the breakdown of muscle tissue. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

, so they are very suitable for a small meal immediately after strength training. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The meal immediately after exercise can also include a small portion of protein rich in valuable amino acids for the muscles and electrolytes. An interesting patent for such a post-workout energy boost are homemade shakes such as blended fruit and buttermilk or rice and yogurt. We can also use ready-made nutrients and snacks for training

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Examples of snacks immediately after training

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • 2 bananas
  • Rice waffles and isotonic drink
  • biscuit and 0.5 l milk
  • 0.5 l strawberry buttermilk, large banana

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Vegetables and baked fish on a plate
<!– /wp:image –>

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

And here are some ideas for post-workout meals on reduction:

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Mini chicken breast steaks with courgettes, mushrooms, tomato and peppers

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Prepare: half a chicken breast, 1 zucchini, 2 tomatoes and 1 pepper.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Cut the meat into slices. Slice the courgette and cut the bell pepper into strips. Boil the tomatoes, peel them and cut into cubes. Sprinkle the chicken with oil and rub it with spices (chili pepper, sweet paprika, turmeric, oregano, thyme and garlic). Then fry the meat on a spoon of oil. Remove the chicken from the frying pan for a moment, put the courgette and pepper and fry them. Sprinkle with basil and oregano. After 3 minutes add the meat and tomatoes, which were removed from the pan earlier. Stew the dish for 20 minutes, stirring from time to time. Season to taste. Serve with pearl barley and lettuce.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Fish balls in dill sauce

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Prepare: 0.5 kg fillets of pollock, hake or cod, 1 graham soaked in milk, 2 heaping spoonfuls of wholemeal flour, 1 small egg, 3 heaping spoonfuls of chopped dill, 2 heaping spoonfuls of chopped parsley, salt, pepper, 150 ml Greek yoghurt, 150 ml vegetable stock.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Grind the fish with a blender. Add graham cakes, flour, parsley and 1 spoonful of dill. Break the egg in, add salt and pepper. Knead into a compact, smooth mass. Form meatballs, which you put into boiling water. Cook over low heat for a few minutes. Pour 150 ml of vegetable stock into a saucepan. Add yoghurt, 2 large spoons of dill, salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Cook over low heat for a few minutes until the water has partially evaporated and the consistency is thick. Throw the meatballs into the sauce. Serve the dish with wholemeal pasta and cooked Brussels sprouts or green beans.

Egg muffins with feta cheese, broccoli and corn

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Prepare: 5 eggs, half a cube of feta cheese, half a broccoli cooked and shredded into small pieces, half a can of corn, salt, sweet paprika and chili pepper

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Crack the eggs into a large bowl and scramble them with a fork. Add salt, chili pepper, broccoli, corn, crumbled or finely diced feta cheese. Mix gently. Pour the mixture into a silicone muffin tin (to ¾ of the height of each cavity). Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake muffins for about 12 minutes. Serve with light vegetable salad (e.g. from tomato, pickled cucumber and pepper).

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Cottage cheese pancakes from the oven

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

We prepare: 250 g semi-fat cottage cheese, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons wholemeal flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, a pinch of salt, half a teaspoon baking powder.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Grind the cottage cheese with a fork. Add eggs, flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Mix. Knead into a compact, smooth mass of such consistency that you can easily form pancakes from it. If necessary, you can add a little more wholemeal flour. Place the formed patties on a baking tray greased with olive oil, or on baking paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 20 minutes (until browned).

  • It is fuel for muscles working at high intensity. Not only does it prevent muscle breakdown as a result of high effort and depletion of energy resources, but it also stimulates the synthesis of muscle proteins, contributing to faster build-up of muscle mass.
<!– /wp:list–>

It should be noted that for every active person post-workout meals will look slightly different. Although the general principles of their preparation remain the same, the specific composition of meals and the amount of food will depend on several factors such as: the purpose of training (e.g. mass, reduction or general improvement of body shape), metabolic rate, age, weight and body build, time of exercise.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>.

What to eat after training for mass?

<!– /wp:heading –>
male trainer at the gym
<!– /wp:image –>

If we train for mass, properly composed post-workout meal is of great importance for the success of our training plan. It determines whether our muscles will receive the building blocks to grow

, or whether due to the lack of fuel, exhausted by the heavy effort during exercise, they will start to draw energy from their own resources, in other words, instead of growing, they will start to shrink. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal for mass should consist of two parts. The first, a small meal, consisting mainly of carbohydrates, eat immediately after exercise (up to 20 minutes after), and the second, a large meal of high nutritional value and considerable calories, eat up to 2 hours after exercise

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>.

As for a small meal immediately after training, it can be a simple, quick snack such as: protein bar, banana, smoothie. It is only meant to temporarily “feed” exhausted muscles and initially replenish glycogen stores in the muscles, so it doesn’t have to be a fancy dish. We can consume it at the end or immediately after exercise, or during the return home if we attend a gym.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

On the other hand, a large meal after training should already be highly substantial. Adepts of mass training are recommended to reach for a large portion of easily digestible simple carbohydrates such as white rice during the post-workout meal – this allows you to generously nourish your muscles, avoid catabolism and compensate for the loss of glycogen

in the muscles and liver. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

After a hard, strenuous workout for mass, it is also very important to replenish fluids

to prevent dehydration. You can use mineral water or isotonic drink for this purpose. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat immediately after strength training – quick fuel replenishment

<!– /wp:heading –>

Each strength training is associated with high energy consumption by the muscles. If you don’t replenish this energy in time after strenuous exercise, you will fall into a state of short-term malnutrition, whose consequence will be catabolism (breakdown of larger, complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones). Catabolic processes occur to balance the energy balance

in the body and result in the breakdown of muscle tissue. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

, so they are very suitable for a small meal immediately after strength training. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The meal immediately after exercise can also include a small portion of protein rich in valuable amino acids for the muscles and electrolytes. An interesting patent for such a post-workout energy boost are homemade shakes such as blended fruit and buttermilk or rice and yogurt. We can also use ready-made nutrients and snacks for training

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Examples of snacks immediately after training

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • 2 bananas
  • Rice waffles and isotonic drink
  • biscuit and 0.5 l milk
  • 0.5 l strawberry buttermilk, large banana
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, bran and raspberries
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, cooked white rice and blueberries
  • smoothie with avocado, spinach and apple

What to eat after strength training – big, valuable meal

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

It should be noted that for every active person post-workout meals will look slightly different. Although the general principles of their preparation remain the same, the specific composition of meals and the amount of food will depend on several factors such as: the purpose of training (e.g. mass, reduction or general improvement of body shape), metabolic rate, age, weight and body build, time of exercise.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>.

What to eat after training for mass?

<!– /wp:heading –>
male trainer at the gym
<!– /wp:image –>

If we train for mass, properly composed post-workout meal is of great importance for the success of our training plan. It determines whether our muscles will receive the building blocks to grow

, or whether due to the lack of fuel, exhausted by the heavy effort during exercise, they will start to draw energy from their own resources, in other words, instead of growing, they will start to shrink. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal for mass should consist of two parts. The first, a small meal, consisting mainly of carbohydrates, eat immediately after exercise (up to 20 minutes after), and the second, a large meal of high nutritional value and considerable calories, eat up to 2 hours after exercise

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>.

As for a small meal immediately after training, it can be a simple, quick snack such as: protein bar, banana, smoothie. It is only meant to temporarily “feed” exhausted muscles and initially replenish glycogen stores in the muscles, so it doesn’t have to be a fancy dish. We can consume it at the end or immediately after exercise, or during the return home if we attend a gym.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

On the other hand, a large meal after training should already be highly substantial. Adepts of mass training are recommended to reach for a large portion of easily digestible simple carbohydrates such as white rice during the post-workout meal – this allows you to generously nourish your muscles, avoid catabolism and compensate for the loss of glycogen

in the muscles and liver. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

After a hard, strenuous workout for mass, it is also very important to replenish fluids

to prevent dehydration. You can use mineral water or isotonic drink for this purpose. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat immediately after strength training – quick fuel replenishment

<!– /wp:heading –>

Each strength training is associated with high energy consumption by the muscles. If you don’t replenish this energy in time after strenuous exercise, you will fall into a state of short-term malnutrition, whose consequence will be catabolism (breakdown of larger, complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones). Catabolic processes occur to balance the energy balance

in the body and result in the breakdown of muscle tissue. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

, so they are very suitable for a small meal immediately after strength training. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The meal immediately after exercise can also include a small portion of protein rich in valuable amino acids for the muscles and electrolytes. An interesting patent for such a post-workout energy boost are homemade shakes such as blended fruit and buttermilk or rice and yogurt. We can also use ready-made nutrients and snacks for training

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Examples of snacks immediately after training

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • 2 bananas
  • Rice waffles and isotonic drink
  • biscuit and 0.5 l milk
  • 0.5 l strawberry buttermilk, large banana
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, bran and raspberries
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, cooked white rice and blueberries
  • smoothie with avocado, spinach and apple
  • bag of white rice, apple

What to eat after strength training – big, valuable meal

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

And here are some ideas for post-workout meals on reduction:

It should be noted that for every active person post-workout meals will look slightly different. Although the general principles of their preparation remain the same, the specific composition of meals and the amount of food will depend on several factors such as: the purpose of training (e.g. mass, reduction or general improvement of body shape), metabolic rate, age, weight and body build, time of exercise.

What to eat after training for mass?

<!– /wp:heading –>
male trainer at the gym
<!– /wp:image –>

If we train for mass, properly composed post-workout meal is of great importance for the success of our training plan. It determines whether our muscles will receive the building blocks to grow

, or whether due to the lack of fuel, exhausted by the heavy effort during exercise, they will start to draw energy from their own resources, in other words, instead of growing, they will start to shrink. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal for mass should consist of two parts. The first, a small meal, consisting mainly of carbohydrates, eat immediately after exercise (up to 20 minutes after), and the second, a large meal of high nutritional value and considerable calories, eat up to 2 hours after exercise

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>.

As for a small meal immediately after training, it can be a simple, quick snack such as: protein bar, banana, smoothie. It is only meant to temporarily “feed” exhausted muscles and initially replenish glycogen stores in the muscles, so it doesn’t have to be a fancy dish. We can consume it at the end or immediately after exercise, or during the return home if we attend a gym.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

On the other hand, a large meal after training should already be highly substantial. Adepts of mass training are recommended to reach for a large portion of easily digestible simple carbohydrates such as white rice during the post-workout meal – this allows you to generously nourish your muscles, avoid catabolism and compensate for the loss of glycogen

in the muscles and liver. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

After a hard, strenuous workout for mass, it is also very important to replenish fluids

to prevent dehydration. You can use mineral water or isotonic drink for this purpose. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat immediately after strength training – quick fuel replenishment

<!– /wp:heading –>

Each strength training is associated with high energy consumption by the muscles. If you don’t replenish this energy in time after strenuous exercise, you will fall into a state of short-term malnutrition, whose consequence will be catabolism (breakdown of larger, complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones). Catabolic processes occur to balance the energy balance

in the body and result in the breakdown of muscle tissue. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

, so they are very suitable for a small meal immediately after strength training. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The meal immediately after exercise can also include a small portion of protein rich in valuable amino acids for the muscles and electrolytes. An interesting patent for such a post-workout energy boost are homemade shakes such as blended fruit and buttermilk or rice and yogurt. We can also use ready-made nutrients and snacks for training

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Examples of snacks immediately after training

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • 2 bananas
  • Rice waffles and isotonic drink
  • biscuit and 0.5 l milk
  • 0.5 l strawberry buttermilk, large banana
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, bran and raspberries
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, cooked white rice and blueberries
  • smoothie with avocado, spinach and apple
  • bag of white rice, apple

What to eat after strength training – big, valuable meal

<!– /wp:heading –>
rice with stew on a plate
<!– /wp:image –>

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

It should be noted that for every active person post-workout meals will look slightly different. Although the general principles of their preparation remain the same, the specific composition of meals and the amount of food will depend on several factors such as: the purpose of training (e.g. mass, reduction or general improvement of body shape), metabolic rate, age, weight and body build, time of exercise.

What to eat after training for mass?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

If we train for mass, properly composed post-workout meal is of great importance for the success of our training plan. It determines whether our muscles will receive the building blocks to grow

, or whether due to the lack of fuel, exhausted by the heavy effort during exercise, they will start to draw energy from their own resources, in other words, instead of growing, they will start to shrink. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal for mass should consist of two parts. The first, a small meal, consisting mainly of carbohydrates, eat immediately after exercise (up to 20 minutes after), and the second, a large meal of high nutritional value and considerable calories, eat up to 2 hours after exercise

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>.

As for a small meal immediately after training, it can be a simple, quick snack such as: protein bar, banana, smoothie. It is only meant to temporarily “feed” exhausted muscles and initially replenish glycogen stores in the muscles, so it doesn’t have to be a fancy dish. We can consume it at the end or immediately after exercise, or during the return home if we attend a gym.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

On the other hand, a large meal after training should already be highly substantial. Adepts of mass training are recommended to reach for a large portion of easily digestible simple carbohydrates such as white rice during the post-workout meal – this allows you to generously nourish your muscles, avoid catabolism and compensate for the loss of glycogen

in the muscles and liver. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

After a hard, strenuous workout for mass, it is also very important to replenish fluids

to prevent dehydration. You can use mineral water or isotonic drink for this purpose. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat immediately after strength training – quick fuel replenishment

<!– /wp:heading –>

Each strength training is associated with high energy consumption by the muscles. If you don’t replenish this energy in time after strenuous exercise, you will fall into a state of short-term malnutrition, whose consequence will be catabolism (breakdown of larger, complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones). Catabolic processes occur to balance the energy balance

in the body and result in the breakdown of muscle tissue. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

, so they are very suitable for a small meal immediately after strength training. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The meal immediately after exercise can also include a small portion of protein rich in valuable amino acids for the muscles and electrolytes. An interesting patent for such a post-workout energy boost are homemade shakes such as blended fruit and buttermilk or rice and yogurt. We can also use ready-made nutrients and snacks for training

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Examples of snacks immediately after training

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • 2 bananas
  • Rice waffles and isotonic drink
  • biscuit and 0.5 l milk
  • 0.5 l strawberry buttermilk, large banana
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, bran and raspberries
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, cooked white rice and blueberries
  • smoothie with avocado, spinach and apple
  • bag of white rice, apple
  • grape juice, banana
  • cottage cheese mixed with kiwi and peach cut into small pieces
  • fruit salad with mandarins, kiwis, cherries, pears and melon
  • protein bar

What to eat after strength training – big, valuable meal

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after strength training – examples of dishes

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Vegetables and baked fish on a plate

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What does a post-workout meal do for us?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • It improves the recovery process after exercise.
<!– /wp:list –>
  • Replenishes water and electrolytes lost during exercise (mainly due to increased sweating).
<!– /wp:list–>
  • Provides a boost of energy after strenuous exercise, reduces the effect of exhaustion and lack of desire to act. Improves general wellbeing and helps us stay active until the end of the day.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It participates in the reconstruction of glycogen, which is an energy reserve for the body. Glycogen deficiency occurs after intensive physical effort. A post-workout meal helps to store it again.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It has a positive effect on our overall physical performance, preventing deterioration during intensive and demanding workout plans. After intensive exercise it helps you quickly return to your peak exercise capacity.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • By improving muscle function, it accelerates the effects of exercise.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • Prevents hunger attacks some time after exercise (e.g. at night).
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It is fuel for muscles working at high intensity. Not only does it prevent muscle breakdown as a result of high effort and depletion of energy resources, but it also stimulates the synthesis of muscle proteins, contributing to faster build-up of muscle mass.
<!– /wp:list–>

It should be noted that for every active person post-workout meals will look slightly different. Although the general principles of their preparation remain the same, the specific composition of meals and the amount of food will depend on several factors such as: the purpose of training (e.g. mass, reduction or general improvement of body shape), metabolic rate, age, weight and body build, time of exercise.

What to eat after training for mass?

<!– /wp:heading –>
male trainer at the gym
<!– /wp:image –>

If we train for mass, properly composed post-workout meal is of great importance for the success of our training plan. It determines whether our muscles will receive the building blocks to grow

, or whether due to the lack of fuel, exhausted by the heavy effort during exercise, they will start to draw energy from their own resources, in other words, instead of growing, they will start to shrink. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal for mass should consist of two parts. The first, a small meal, consisting mainly of carbohydrates, eat immediately after exercise (up to 20 minutes after), and the second, a large meal of high nutritional value and considerable calories, eat up to 2 hours after exercise

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>.

As for a small meal immediately after training, it can be a simple, quick snack such as: protein bar, banana, smoothie. It is only meant to temporarily “feed” exhausted muscles and initially replenish glycogen stores in the muscles, so it doesn’t have to be a fancy dish. We can consume it at the end or immediately after exercise, or during the return home if we attend a gym.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

On the other hand, a large meal after training should already be highly substantial. Adepts of mass training are recommended to reach for a large portion of easily digestible simple carbohydrates such as white rice during the post-workout meal – this allows you to generously nourish your muscles, avoid catabolism and compensate for the loss of glycogen

in the muscles and liver. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

After a hard, strenuous workout for mass, it is also very important to replenish fluids

to prevent dehydration. You can use mineral water or isotonic drink for this purpose. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat immediately after strength training – quick fuel replenishment

<!– /wp:heading –>

Each strength training is associated with high energy consumption by the muscles. If you don’t replenish this energy in time after strenuous exercise, you will fall into a state of short-term malnutrition, whose consequence will be catabolism (breakdown of larger, complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones). Catabolic processes occur to balance the energy balance

in the body and result in the breakdown of muscle tissue. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

, so they are very suitable for a small meal immediately after strength training. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The meal immediately after exercise can also include a small portion of protein rich in valuable amino acids for the muscles and electrolytes. An interesting patent for such a post-workout energy boost are homemade shakes such as blended fruit and buttermilk or rice and yogurt. We can also use ready-made nutrients and snacks for training

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Examples of snacks immediately after training

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • 2 bananas
  • Rice waffles and isotonic drink
  • biscuit and 0.5 l milk
  • 0.5 l strawberry buttermilk, large banana
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, bran and raspberries

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In order for our muscles to gain volume and proper shape, they must be fed on a regular basis. For the fat tissue to disappear systematically, it must be stimulated to disappear, among other things through food that speeds up metabolism

. Without regular, well-balanced meals our metabolism will slow down, and muscle tissue will atrophy instead of growing. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The post-workout meal is particularly important in our menu, because it determines whether our muscles will receive the appropriate dose of energy and building material needed for growth. If not, they will start to “devour” themselves.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

What does a post-workout meal do for us?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • It improves the recovery process after exercise.
<!– /wp:list –>
  • Replenishes water and electrolytes lost during exercise (mainly due to increased sweating).
<!– /wp:list–>
  • Provides a boost of energy after strenuous exercise, reduces the effect of exhaustion and lack of desire to act. Improves general wellbeing and helps us stay active until the end of the day.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It participates in the reconstruction of glycogen, which is an energy reserve for the body. Glycogen deficiency occurs after intensive physical effort. A post-workout meal helps to store it again.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It has a positive effect on our overall physical performance, preventing deterioration during intensive and demanding workout plans. After intensive exercise it helps you quickly return to your peak exercise capacity.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • By improving muscle function, it accelerates the effects of exercise.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • Prevents hunger attacks some time after exercise (e.g. at night).
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It is fuel for muscles working at high intensity. Not only does it prevent muscle breakdown as a result of high effort and depletion of energy resources, but it also stimulates the synthesis of muscle proteins, contributing to faster build-up of muscle mass.
<!– /wp:list–>

It should be noted that for every active person post-workout meals will look slightly different. Although the general principles of their preparation remain the same, the specific composition of meals and the amount of food will depend on several factors such as: the purpose of training (e.g. mass, reduction or general improvement of body shape), metabolic rate, age, weight and body build, time of exercise.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>.

What to eat after training for mass?

<!– /wp:heading –>
male trainer at the gym
<!– /wp:image –>

If we train for mass, properly composed post-workout meal is of great importance for the success of our training plan. It determines whether our muscles will receive the building blocks to grow

, or whether due to the lack of fuel, exhausted by the heavy effort during exercise, they will start to draw energy from their own resources, in other words, instead of growing, they will start to shrink. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal for mass should consist of two parts. The first, a small meal, consisting mainly of carbohydrates, eat immediately after exercise (up to 20 minutes after), and the second, a large meal of high nutritional value and considerable calories, eat up to 2 hours after exercise

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>.

As for a small meal immediately after training, it can be a simple, quick snack such as: protein bar, banana, smoothie. It is only meant to temporarily “feed” exhausted muscles and initially replenish glycogen stores in the muscles, so it doesn’t have to be a fancy dish. We can consume it at the end or immediately after exercise, or during the return home if we attend a gym.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

On the other hand, a large meal after training should already be highly substantial. Adepts of mass training are recommended to reach for a large portion of easily digestible simple carbohydrates such as white rice during the post-workout meal – this allows you to generously nourish your muscles, avoid catabolism and compensate for the loss of glycogen

in the muscles and liver. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

After a hard, strenuous workout for mass, it is also very important to replenish fluids

to prevent dehydration. You can use mineral water or isotonic drink for this purpose. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat immediately after strength training – quick fuel replenishment

<!– /wp:heading –>

Each strength training is associated with high energy consumption by the muscles. If you don’t replenish this energy in time after strenuous exercise, you will fall into a state of short-term malnutrition, whose consequence will be catabolism (breakdown of larger, complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones). Catabolic processes occur to balance the energy balance

in the body and result in the breakdown of muscle tissue. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

, so they are very suitable for a small meal immediately after strength training. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The meal immediately after exercise can also include a small portion of protein rich in valuable amino acids for the muscles and electrolytes. An interesting patent for such a post-workout energy boost are homemade shakes such as blended fruit and buttermilk or rice and yogurt. We can also use ready-made nutrients and snacks for training

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Examples of snacks immediately after training

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • 2 bananas
  • Rice waffles and isotonic drink
  • biscuit and 0.5 l milk
  • 0.5 l strawberry buttermilk, large banana
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, bran and raspberries

<!– /wp:image –>

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Supporters of training are divided into those who do not or almost do not pay attention to the diet, believing that everything will be taken care of by nutrients and supplements, and those who are aware of how important nutrition is for achieving specific physique effects. The latter are of course right. What we eat is crucial

to our fitness, mental and physical form, as well as to the rate of muscle growth and fat reduction. Dietary supplements are of course important accelerators of the whole process, but they are not the most important.

These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

And here are some ideas for post-workout meals on reduction:

Supporters of training are divided into those who do not or almost do not pay attention to the diet, believing that everything will be taken care of by nutrients and supplements, and those who are aware of how important nutrition is for achieving specific physique effects. The latter are of course right. What we eat is crucial

to our fitness, mental and physical form, as well as to the rate of muscle growth and fat reduction. Dietary supplements are of course important accelerators of the whole process, but they are not the most important. After all, no one has built muscles or lost weight on supplements alone. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In order for our muscles to gain volume and proper shape, they must be fed on a regular basis. For the fat tissue to disappear systematically, it must be stimulated to disappear, among other things through food that speeds up metabolism

. Without regular, well-balanced meals our metabolism will slow down, and muscle tissue will atrophy instead of growing. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The post-workout meal is particularly important in our menu, because it determines whether our muscles will receive the appropriate dose of energy and building material needed for growth. If not, they will start to “devour” themselves.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

What does a post-workout meal do for us?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • It improves the recovery process after exercise.
<!– /wp:list –>
  • Replenishes water and electrolytes lost during exercise (mainly due to increased sweating).
<!– /wp:list–>
  • Provides a boost of energy after strenuous exercise, reduces the effect of exhaustion and lack of desire to act. Improves general wellbeing and helps us stay active until the end of the day.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It participates in the reconstruction of glycogen, which is an energy reserve for the body. Glycogen deficiency occurs after intensive physical effort. A post-workout meal helps to store it again.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It has a positive effect on our overall physical performance, preventing deterioration during intensive and demanding workout plans. After intensive exercise it helps you quickly return to your peak exercise capacity.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • By improving muscle function, it accelerates the effects of exercise.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • Prevents hunger attacks some time after exercise (e.g. at night).
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It is fuel for muscles working at high intensity. Not only does it prevent muscle breakdown as a result of high effort and depletion of energy resources, but it also stimulates the synthesis of muscle proteins, contributing to faster build-up of muscle mass.
<!– /wp:list–>

It should be noted that for every active person post-workout meals will look slightly different. Although the general principles of their preparation remain the same, the specific composition of meals and the amount of food will depend on several factors such as: the purpose of training (e.g. mass, reduction or general improvement of body shape), metabolic rate, age, weight and body build, time of exercise.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>.

What to eat after training for mass?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

If we train for mass, properly composed post-workout meal is of great importance for the success of our training plan. It determines whether our muscles will receive the building blocks to grow

, or whether due to the lack of fuel, exhausted by the heavy effort during exercise, they will start to draw energy from their own resources, in other words, instead of growing, they will start to shrink. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal for mass should consist of two parts. The first, a small meal, consisting mainly of carbohydrates, eat immediately after exercise (up to 20 minutes after), and the second, a large meal of high nutritional value and considerable calories, eat up to 2 hours after exercise

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>.

As for a small meal immediately after training, it can be a simple, quick snack such as: protein bar, banana, smoothie. It is only meant to temporarily “feed” exhausted muscles and initially replenish glycogen stores in the muscles, so it doesn’t have to be a fancy dish. We can consume it at the end or immediately after exercise, or during the return home if we attend a gym.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

On the other hand, a large meal after training should already be highly substantial. Adepts of mass training are recommended to reach for a large portion of easily digestible simple carbohydrates such as white rice during the post-workout meal – this allows you to generously nourish your muscles, avoid catabolism and compensate for the loss of glycogen

in the muscles and liver. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

After a hard, strenuous workout for mass, it is also very important to replenish fluids

to prevent dehydration. You can use mineral water or isotonic drink for this purpose. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat immediately after strength training – quick fuel replenishment

<!– /wp:heading –>

Each strength training is associated with high energy consumption by the muscles. If you don’t replenish this energy in time after strenuous exercise, you will fall into a state of short-term malnutrition, whose consequence will be catabolism (breakdown of larger, complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones). Catabolic processes occur to balance the energy balance

in the body and result in the breakdown of muscle tissue. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

, so they are very suitable for a small meal immediately after strength training. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The meal immediately after exercise can also include a small portion of protein rich in valuable amino acids for the muscles and electrolytes. An interesting patent for such a post-workout energy boost are homemade shakes such as blended fruit and buttermilk or rice and yogurt. We can also use ready-made nutrients and snacks for training

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Examples of snacks immediately after training

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • 2 bananas
  • Rice waffles and isotonic drink
  • biscuit and 0.5 l milk
  • 0.5 l strawberry buttermilk, large banana
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, bran and raspberries
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, cooked white rice and blueberries
  • smoothie with avocado, spinach and apple

What to eat after strength training – big, valuable meal

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

And here are some ideas for post-workout meals on reduction:

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Prepare: half a chicken breast, 1 zucchini, 2 tomatoes and 1 pepper.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Cut the meat into slices. Slice the courgette and cut the bell pepper into strips. Boil the tomatoes, peel them and cut into cubes. Sprinkle the chicken with oil and rub it with spices (chili pepper, sweet paprika, turmeric, oregano, thyme and garlic). Then fry the meat on a spoon of oil. Remove the chicken from the frying pan for a moment, put the courgette and pepper and fry them. Sprinkle with basil and oregano. After 3 minutes add the meat and tomatoes, which were removed from the pan earlier. Stew the dish for 20 minutes, stirring from time to time. Season to taste. Serve with pearl barley and lettuce.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Fish balls in dill sauce

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Prepare: 0.5 kg fillets of pollock, hake or cod, 1 graham soaked in milk, 2 heaping spoonfuls of wholemeal flour, 1 small egg, 3 heaping spoonfuls of chopped dill, 2 heaping spoonfuls of chopped parsley, salt, pepper, 150 ml Greek yoghurt, 150 ml vegetable stock.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Grind the fish with a blender. Add graham cakes, flour, parsley and 1 spoonful of dill. Break the egg in, add salt and pepper. Knead into a compact, smooth mass. Form meatballs, which you put into boiling water. Cook over low heat for a few minutes. Pour 150 ml of vegetable stock into a saucepan. Add yoghurt, 2 large spoons of dill, salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Cook over low heat for a few minutes until the water has partially evaporated and the consistency is thick. Throw the meatballs into the sauce. Serve the dish with wholemeal pasta and cooked Brussels sprouts or green beans.

Meal after training – an important part of the body building program

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

Supporters of training are divided into those who do not or almost do not pay attention to the diet, believing that everything will be taken care of by nutrients and supplements, and those who are aware of how important nutrition is for achieving specific physique effects. The latter are of course right. What we eat is crucial

to our fitness, mental and physical form, as well as to the rate of muscle growth and fat reduction. Dietary supplements are of course important accelerators of the whole process, but they are not the most important. After all, no one has built muscles or lost weight on supplements alone. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In order for our muscles to gain volume and proper shape, they must be fed on a regular basis. For the fat tissue to disappear systematically, it must be stimulated to disappear, among other things through food that speeds up metabolism

. Without regular, well-balanced meals our metabolism will slow down, and muscle tissue will atrophy instead of growing. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The post-workout meal is particularly important in our menu, because it determines whether our muscles will receive the appropriate dose of energy and building material needed for growth. If not, they will start to “devour” themselves.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

What does a post-workout meal do for us?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • It improves the recovery process after exercise.
<!– /wp:list –>
  • Replenishes water and electrolytes lost during exercise (mainly due to increased sweating).
<!– /wp:list–>
  • Provides a boost of energy after strenuous exercise, reduces the effect of exhaustion and lack of desire to act. Improves general wellbeing and helps us stay active until the end of the day.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It participates in the reconstruction of glycogen, which is an energy reserve for the body. Glycogen deficiency occurs after intensive physical effort. A post-workout meal helps to store it again.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It has a positive effect on our overall physical performance, preventing deterioration during intensive and demanding workout plans. After intensive exercise it helps you quickly return to your peak exercise capacity.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • By improving muscle function, it accelerates the effects of exercise.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • Prevents hunger attacks some time after exercise (e.g. at night).
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It is fuel for muscles working at high intensity. Not only does it prevent muscle breakdown as a result of high effort and depletion of energy resources, but it also stimulates the synthesis of muscle proteins, contributing to faster build-up of muscle mass.
<!– /wp:list–>

It should be noted that for every active person post-workout meals will look slightly different. Although the general principles of their preparation remain the same, the specific composition of meals and the amount of food will depend on several factors such as: the purpose of training (e.g. mass, reduction or general improvement of body shape), metabolic rate, age, weight and body build, time of exercise.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>.

What to eat after training for mass?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

If we train for mass, properly composed post-workout meal is of great importance for the success of our training plan. It determines whether our muscles will receive the building blocks to grow

, or whether due to the lack of fuel, exhausted by the heavy effort during exercise, they will start to draw energy from their own resources, in other words, instead of growing, they will start to shrink. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal for mass should consist of two parts. The first, a small meal, consisting mainly of carbohydrates, eat immediately after exercise (up to 20 minutes after), and the second, a large meal of high nutritional value and considerable calories, eat up to 2 hours after exercise

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>.

As for a small meal immediately after training, it can be a simple, quick snack such as: protein bar, banana, smoothie. It is only meant to temporarily “feed” exhausted muscles and initially replenish glycogen stores in the muscles, so it doesn’t have to be a fancy dish. We can consume it at the end or immediately after exercise, or during the return home if we attend a gym.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

On the other hand, a large meal after training should already be highly substantial. Adepts of mass training are recommended to reach for a large portion of easily digestible simple carbohydrates such as white rice during the post-workout meal – this allows you to generously nourish your muscles, avoid catabolism and compensate for the loss of glycogen

in the muscles and liver. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

After a hard, strenuous workout for mass, it is also very important to replenish fluids

to prevent dehydration. You can use mineral water or isotonic drink for this purpose. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat immediately after strength training – quick fuel replenishment

<!– /wp:heading –>

Each strength training is associated with high energy consumption by the muscles. If you don’t replenish this energy in time after strenuous exercise, you will fall into a state of short-term malnutrition, whose consequence will be catabolism (breakdown of larger, complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones). Catabolic processes occur to balance the energy balance

in the body and result in the breakdown of muscle tissue. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

, so they are very suitable for a small meal immediately after strength training. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The meal immediately after exercise can also include a small portion of protein rich in valuable amino acids for the muscles and electrolytes. An interesting patent for such a post-workout energy boost are homemade shakes such as blended fruit and buttermilk or rice and yogurt. We can also use ready-made nutrients and snacks for training

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Examples of snacks immediately after training

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • 2 bananas
  • Rice waffles and isotonic drink
  • biscuit and 0.5 l milk
  • 0.5 l strawberry buttermilk, large banana
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, bran and raspberries
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, cooked white rice and blueberries
  • smoothie with avocado, spinach and apple
  • bag of white rice, apple
  • grape juice, banana
  • cottage cheese mixed with kiwi and peach cut into small pieces
  • fruit salad with mandarins, kiwis, cherries, pears and melon

What to eat after strength training – big, valuable meal

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after strength training – examples of dishes

<!– /wp:heading –>

Here are examples of proven, nutritious and productive in terms of muscle modeling post-workout meals. They are versatile enough that we can use them regardless of whether we train in the morning, at noon or in the evening.

What to eat after training, what to eat before training – these questions bother most people striving to shape the ideal body shape.

Everyone knows that post-workout meals play a very important role in the process of shaping muscles and burning fat, but few people know exactly how to compose them. Post-workout meals have an impact on, among other things, our physical performance and the level of strength during exercise, on muscle work, the rate of mass gain or the body regeneration process. Many people who train consider the pre-workout meal and the post-workout meal to be the most important meals of the day. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after strength training – big, valuable meal

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

A small snack immediately after exercise will allow us to survive until the main meal, which should be eaten about 1 or 2 hours after the end of training. Ideally it should be a decent, substantial dinner, but not necessarily. It depends on what time our workouts take place. If you exercise in the morning you can have a hearty and varied second breakfast as a post-workout meal, if you exercise in the evening you can reach for a rich dinner. The main thing is the right choice and proportions of products

included in our dish. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal aimed at muscle tissue growth should be based on protein, preferably complete protein, which means that it contains all essential amino acids in appropriate quantities. Complete protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. The next important element of a post-workout meal are carbohydrates

. For people engaged in intensive strength training in order to build and accentuate muscle, a good choice will be simple and starchy carbohydrates: white rice, white pasta, white bread, pancakes from white flour, potatoes. We should avoid products with a significant content of fat. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Carbohydrates after training act as an express injection of fuel for muscles

and the whole body. The higher the glycemic index, the faster they enter the blood and replenish energy stores. However, we don’t have to focus only on simple carbohydrates in our post-workout meal. We can combine them with complex carbohydrates (present in vegetables, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes, coarse groats, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, among others). <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Such a duo will even be very beneficial: simple carbohydrates will help us feed our muscles and reduce fatigue in no time, while complex carbohydrates will ensure high energy levels for a long time and no fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

However, protein remains the most important, as it is particularly important for weight gain and regeneration. By consuming around 20-40g of protein as part of a post-workout meal

, our muscles will have something to draw on for growth, they will also rebuild more efficiently. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat after workout on reduction?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

While people striving to build muscle do not need to watch every calorie they consume (in their case it is even recommended to have a calorie surplus), people on the reduction should pay attention to how much and what they eat, with particular emphasis on watching the supply of carbohydrates and fats

. On the other hand, a big post-workout meal is necessary to replenish lost energy, eliminate fatigue, nourish the body and start the post-workout regeneration process. What to eat after training to lose weight? How not to lose the sweat you’ve been pouring out during exercise? <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Many people who are on a reduction cycle give up or severely deplete the post-workout meal for fear of weight gain. However, we do not have to worry about that. Muscles stimulated to intensive work consume a lot of energy

not only when they are active but also for hours after the exercise. Calorie burning is therefore intensified after the workout and practically everything we eat during this time will be used as fuel for the tissues, and not stored in fat reserves. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Consuming a satiating, rich meal after a reduction workout does not threaten with weight gain. Provided, of course, that we use healthy, dietetic food, and not calorie bombs such as fast food, sweets, pasta from white flour served with heavy, flour sauces, fatty meats with fries, etc. In this case, how to arrange meals after training not to get fat?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Post-workout meals should be based on complex carbohydrates (thick cereals, natural rice, wholemeal pasta, legumes, wholemeal bread, cereals, grains, vegetables) and protein (lean meat, fish, seafood, eggs, leaner cheese). We rather avoid simple carbohydrates. For people on a reduction, carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are a better option. Of course, sometimes we can allow ourselves a small carbohydrate snack with a higher glycemic index, but then we should adjust other meals of the day so as to stay in a calorie deficit

, which is necessary to lose weight. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In post-workout meals for reduction important place should also occupy products with properties accelerating metabolism. They will help us keep burning calories at a higher level and improve the process of getting rid of unnecessary body fat. These are mainly spices such as chili pepper, black pepper, curry, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, but also many other products such as marine algae (chlorella and spirulina

), fish, lean dairy products, etc. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

When preparing post-workout meals, we choose cooking, stewing, grilling, roasting and frying without fat or with a minimum amount of fat as the heat treatment of the products. Avoid frying with a lot of fat. Eat approximately one hour after training

and no later than two hours after. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

We use a large variety of vegetables

in our post-workout meals. We combine them with groats, brown rice and other whole grain products, as well as fish and lean meats. If we prefer a vegetarian cuisine, we need to look for good sources of plant protein and create dishes from them, which will replace our meat. Great for this purpose are lentils, beans, chickpeas and other legumes that are very rich in protein and from which you can create a variety of chops, meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, pâté, stews. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

And here are some ideas for post-workout meals on reduction:

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Prepare: half a chicken breast, 1 zucchini, 2 tomatoes and 1 pepper.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

Cut the meat into slices. Slice the courgette and cut the bell pepper into strips. Boil the tomatoes, peel them and cut into cubes. Sprinkle the chicken with oil and rub it with spices (chili pepper, sweet paprika, turmeric, oregano, thyme and garlic). Then fry the meat on a spoon of oil. Remove the chicken from the frying pan for a moment, put the courgette and pepper and fry them. Sprinkle with basil and oregano. After 3 minutes add the meat and tomatoes, which were removed from the pan earlier. Stew the dish for 20 minutes, stirring from time to time. Season to taste. Serve with pearl barley and lettuce.

What to eat after training, what to eat before training – these questions bother most people striving to shape the ideal body shape.

Everyone knows that post-workout meals play a very important role in the process of shaping muscles and burning fat, but few people know exactly how to compose them. Post-workout meals have an impact on, among other things, our physical performance and the level of strength during exercise, on muscle work, the rate of mass gain or the body regeneration process. Many people who train consider the pre-workout meal and the post-workout meal to be the most important meals of the day. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Are you exercising and would like to optimize your diet to see positive changes in your silhouette as soon as possible? Read the article and find out what to eat after training to replenish your muscles, improve the work of the whole body, recharge your batteries before the next exercise session and protect yourself against unwanted fat gain!

Meal after training – an important part of the body building program

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

Supporters of training are divided into those who do not or almost do not pay attention to the diet, believing that everything will be taken care of by nutrients and supplements, and those who are aware of how important nutrition is for achieving specific physique effects. The latter are of course right. What we eat is crucial

to our fitness, mental and physical form, as well as to the rate of muscle growth and fat reduction. Dietary supplements are of course important accelerators of the whole process, but they are not the most important. After all, no one has built muscles or lost weight on supplements alone. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

In order for our muscles to gain volume and proper shape, they must be fed on a regular basis. For the fat tissue to disappear systematically, it must be stimulated to disappear, among other things through food that speeds up metabolism

. Without regular, well-balanced meals our metabolism will slow down, and muscle tissue will atrophy instead of growing. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The post-workout meal is particularly important in our menu, because it determines whether our muscles will receive the appropriate dose of energy and building material needed for growth. If not, they will start to “devour” themselves.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

What does a post-workout meal do for us?

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • It improves the recovery process after exercise.
<!– /wp:list –>
  • Replenishes water and electrolytes lost during exercise (mainly due to increased sweating).
<!– /wp:list–>
  • Provides a boost of energy after strenuous exercise, reduces the effect of exhaustion and lack of desire to act. Improves general wellbeing and helps us stay active until the end of the day.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It participates in the reconstruction of glycogen, which is an energy reserve for the body. Glycogen deficiency occurs after intensive physical effort. A post-workout meal helps to store it again.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It has a positive effect on our overall physical performance, preventing deterioration during intensive and demanding workout plans. After intensive exercise it helps you quickly return to your peak exercise capacity.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • By improving muscle function, it accelerates the effects of exercise.
<!– /wp:list–>
  • Prevents hunger attacks some time after exercise (e.g. at night).
<!– /wp:list–>
  • It is fuel for muscles working at high intensity. Not only does it prevent muscle breakdown as a result of high effort and depletion of energy resources, but it also stimulates the synthesis of muscle proteins, contributing to faster build-up of muscle mass.
<!– /wp:list–>

It should be noted that for every active person post-workout meals will look slightly different. Although the general principles of their preparation remain the same, the specific composition of meals and the amount of food will depend on several factors such as: the purpose of training (e.g. mass, reduction or general improvement of body shape), metabolic rate, age, weight and body build, time of exercise.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>.

What to eat after training for mass?

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

If we train for mass, properly composed post-workout meal is of great importance for the success of our training plan. It determines whether our muscles will receive the building blocks to grow

, or whether due to the lack of fuel, exhausted by the heavy effort during exercise, they will start to draw energy from their own resources, in other words, instead of growing, they will start to shrink. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

A post-workout meal for mass should consist of two parts. The first, a small meal, consisting mainly of carbohydrates, eat immediately after exercise (up to 20 minutes after), and the second, a large meal of high nutritional value and considerable calories, eat up to 2 hours after exercise

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>.

As for a small meal immediately after training, it can be a simple, quick snack such as: protein bar, banana, smoothie. It is only meant to temporarily “feed” exhausted muscles and initially replenish glycogen stores in the muscles, so it doesn’t have to be a fancy dish. We can consume it at the end or immediately after exercise, or during the return home if we attend a gym.

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

On the other hand, a large meal after training should already be highly substantial. Adepts of mass training are recommended to reach for a large portion of easily digestible simple carbohydrates such as white rice during the post-workout meal – this allows you to generously nourish your muscles, avoid catabolism and compensate for the loss of glycogen

in the muscles and liver. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

After a hard, strenuous workout for mass, it is also very important to replenish fluids

to prevent dehydration. You can use mineral water or isotonic drink for this purpose. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

What to eat immediately after strength training – quick fuel replenishment

<!– /wp:heading –>

Each strength training is associated with high energy consumption by the muscles. If you don’t replenish this energy in time after strenuous exercise, you will fall into a state of short-term malnutrition, whose consequence will be catabolism (breakdown of larger, complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones). Catabolic processes occur to balance the energy balance

in the body and result in the breakdown of muscle tissue. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Failure to replenish energy resources after the workout thwarts our efforts to build ideal muscles. That’s why it’s best to consume a portion of fast-absorbing carbohydrates, i.e. those with a high glycaemic index, immediately or a few minutes after the workout, up to 25-30 minutes afterwards. Sugars with a high glycaemic index are rapidly released into the bloodstream and replenish lost energy

, so they are very suitable for a small meal immediately after strength training. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

The meal immediately after exercise can also include a small portion of protein rich in valuable amino acids for the muscles and electrolytes. An interesting patent for such a post-workout energy boost are homemade shakes such as blended fruit and buttermilk or rice and yogurt. We can also use ready-made nutrients and snacks for training

. <!– /wp:paragraph –>

Examples of snacks immediately after training

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
  • 2 bananas
  • Rice waffles and isotonic drink
  • biscuit and 0.5 l milk
  • 0.5 l strawberry buttermilk, large banana
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, bran and raspberries
  • Cocktail with yoghurt, cooked white rice and blueberries
  • smoothie with avocado, spinach and apple
  • bag of white rice, apple
  • grape juice, banana
