Mr India 2019 bodybuilding title holder on why post-workout nutrition is essential

With a whole lot of emphasis on workout nutrition, many tend to eat too much post workout, or too many dense calories, instead of opting for a well-balanced nutritive diet. According to Mr India 2019 bodybuilding title holder, Vikram Jadhav, who is also a fitness coach, post-workout nutrition is as much important as pre-workout nutrition.

“Consuming the right nutrients post-workout is as important as what you eat before,” he said ling down reasons why such nutrition makes a difference.

Why is a post-workout meal important?
*Decreases muscles protein breakdown
*Increases muscles protein synthesis
*Restores glycogen stores
*Enhances recovery

What should your post-workout diet include?
Protein helps repair and build muscles
Ingesting 20-40 grams of protein seems to maximise the body’s ability to recover after exercise
Carbs help with recovery
Consuming 0.5-0.7 grams of carbs per pound (1.1-1.5 grams/kg) of body weight within 30 minutes after training helps proper glycogen resynthesis.

Fat is not that bad
Whole milk is more effective at promoting muscle growth after a workout than skimmed milk
Quick and easy post-workout meals

*Oatmeal, whey protein, banana, and almonds
*Egg omelette with avocado spread on whole grain bread
