Do the muscles you worked out a favor and serve them up some carbohydrate with that protein. Protein powder is all the rage, right? The protein you feed your muscles following a workout serves to aid in muscle recovery and repair that starts happening the minute your workout ends. But tired muscles want food fast and carbs get the job done faster, protein. Carbohydrates break down quickly to feed muscles the sugars they are craving and a banana eaten right after a strength training session has the power to reduce next day muscle soreness.
Did you know? Carbohydrates break down and are digested faster than proteins and fats so they’re the best source of energy for an athlete. Athletes competing in all day tournaments will do well eating foods that are high in carbohydrates and low in fat. Let go of your fear of carbs!
