What sorts of foods should eat, after I workout in the morning.

Hi there! I’m no expert, but I try to eat either overnight oats with fruit or hard boiled eggs on a bed of spinach and wholemeal toast :)

Eat a high protein, low sugar breakfast for energy release over a longer time. Eggs, peanut butter and toast, sprouts are a couple of options.

Foods that aren’t heavy so oatmeal, fruit bowls, breakfast burrito with turkey sausage, egg white with spinach mixed in, cheese and salsa, meal replacement drinks, smoothies.

I eat fruits and whole grain carbs like a whole grain English muffin. Also I make sure I am getting enough protein like from low-fat cottage cheese or an egg. My favorite book is Devil in the White City Also I loved The Poisonwood Bible I stretch in my dining room. It has carpet as opposed to a hardwood floor. Also, by going to the same place everyday, I create a plan that becomes a habit! Whenever I go in there, I am reminded to stretch if I haven’t already done so.

Eating things that fuel your body post workout is important! Choose things higher in protein like eggs, cheese, and meats. If you’re vegetarian/vegan a handful of nuts can go a long way! I personally love an English muffin with delicious almond butter on it with a side of eggs.

I highly recommend some pure veggies or fruit with some protein. For example, I’ll have some toast with blueberries on Monday and a bacon, egg, cheese and spinach sandwich another day. Remember that variety is super important when trying to eat healthy because if you get bored with the healthy meals you’re making you’ll revert back to comfort food. Try new healthy recipes once or twice a week so you can put together a strong list of meals you actually like! Good luck ☺️

Start with lots of water. You need to rehydrate. I usually work out in the morning so I like to have something with a good amount of protein and some complex carbs plus greens if I can. Often times I like chicken and rice with cucumbers and maybe a green juice. If you want something lighter (I often do) I like granola and a protein shake. Complex carbs will give you long lasting energy and you can avoid the “crash” after eating if you avoid sugary things (this is different from electrolyte drinks for recovery just keep an eye on the added sugars).

•Grilled chicken with roasted vegetables. •Egg omelet with avocado spread on toast. •Salmon with sweet potato. •Tuna salad sandwich on whole grain bread. •Tuna and crackers. •Oatmeal, whey protein, banana and almonds. •Cottage cheese and fruits.

It all really depends on what workout you do. Personally, I eat a small breakfast a couple of hours before I workout.

An egg or perhaps even a smoothie. Lighter eating is better after a good workout, as to not replace the fat you burned with more fat and unhealthy calories. A breakfast bar or some yummy fruits are good ideas too.
