Post Workout Nutrition

In researching all things fitness today, I realized I had been neglecting the ever-famous post workout meal. Now don't get me wrong, this was not always the case. I used to pay strict attention to it when I was an omni, but in converting to veganism, it somehow got lost in the meal plan construction dust.

NO MORE! If I am going to build the body of my dreams, I need all the right building blocks. According to the Vegan Bodybuilding Blog...

These are the recommended things to include to speed up recovery, bolster your immunity and enhance performance...

Here are the guides I would suggest at the moment:

Protein 30 grams
High glycemic carbs 40-50 grams
BCAA’s 1-2 grams
L-glutamine 5 grams
Vit c 60-120mg
Vit E 80-400 IU.

The best way to consume these:

Here’s the best way to consume the above after exercise nutrition.

Straight after your exercise, but before your cool-down stretch have your BCAA’s , l-glutamine (also a good time if you supplement with creatine to take that as well).

Now do your cool down

After cool-down now consume your protein-carbs-vitamins

So beginning tomorrow I am going to start incorporating each of these into my meal plan!

What is your personal post workout protocol?
