While the "golden hour" isn't as strict as once believed, post-workout nutrition is still crucial.Consuming a combination of protein (20-40g) and fast-digesting carbohydrates (e.g., fruit, white rice, dextrose) within a couple of hours after training helps to:
- Replenish glycogen stores.
- Initiate muscle protein synthesis.
- Reduce muscle breakdown.
Prioritize getting a good meal in rather than stressing over a precise minute.
"The sooner you refuel, the sooner you recover and grow."
What do you eat immediately after training?
