You don’t grow in the gym—you grow after, when your body repairs and rebuilds. That means recovery nutrition is everything. After a session, I make sure to get a good mix of protein and carbs.
Some of my go-to post-workout meals: a protein smoothie with banana and peanut butter, Greek yogurt with berries, or chicken and rice. Timing helps too—within 60–90 minutes after training is ideal.
Recovery isn’t just about soreness—it’s about results. Feed your body right, and it will reward you.
