What should I eat after a workout??

People are always looking for the "gap" filler after a good workout and you deserve it! so what should you eat? well following exercise, the body has an elevated metabolic rate and elevated cortisol levels; thus a lack of nutrients following exercise results in muscle-tissue breakdown. Basically what this means is that you must ensure that you have plenty of fuel for you body directly after you finish working out; if not, your body will simply search for other sources of fuel. Because there is no fuel in the form of food, your body will begin to break it's self down, thus negating all the work you've put in at the gym. Your post-workout meal is rich in protein and carbohydrates. Protein builds muscle and is the main fuel you will need to help your muscles recover and get stronger. Without protein your muscles have no fuel to recover.
