For some, being able to get back in the gym afterthis long break will feel like Christmas has come early. Although we have been successful in comingup with creative workouts and ways to keep our bodies and minds active, it isn’t quite the same as being in the gym. Of course, being healthy isn’t simply measured by how many calories you burn, it’s also about the quality of food you’re eating and your own self care.
Post-workout Nutrition
Our bodies need different post-workout nutrition depending on the length and type of exercise we undertake. When strength training, post-workout meals incorporating high protein and moderate carbs will help aid muscle recovery. If endurance exercise if the focus - such as cycling, running, swimming - higher carbs meals may be more beneficial. Below you can find our best high protein post workout recipes. All of these are quick to make and, as they use Lo-Dough as a key ingredient, you know they will be low calorie, low carb, and high fibre too.
