Why you shouldn’t skip your post-training carbs + protein 🍗🍚💪
You’ve smashed your session, you’re sweaty, you’re proud… but your muscles are crying for some love. What you eat after training can make a huge difference to your recovery, performance, and long-term results.
Here’s the simple breakdown 👇
✨ Protein
After training, your muscles are in repair mode. Protein gives them the building blocks (amino acids) they need to recover, rebuild, and grow stronger.
Think: chicken, Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, protein shakes.
✨ Carbs
Carbs refill your energy stores (glycogen) that you just used up. When you pair carbs with protein, you recover faster, feel less tired, and perform better in your next session.
Think: rice, fruit, oats, potatoes, wraps.
✨ The magic combo
Carbs + protein together = increased muscle repair + faster recovery + reduced soreness + better performance.
It’s literally the dream team.
And no… eating carbs after training won’t “ruin your progress.”
It supports it. 🙌
If you’re training regularly and want to feel stronger, recover better, and finally see results—start with your post-training nutrition.
If you are time poor, a simple protein shake and banana can help. Or as I have here, just left over dinner which I eat at 10.30am after my 9am session 😝 there is also no rules about whether you eat lunch at morning tea time 😂
