Post Workout Meal

A post workout meal is probably one of the most important meals if you are looking to gain muscle. Your muscles have just taken a good beating from your workout and will take in any nutrients that enter the body so having a high protein post workout meal is the best way for this to happen.

What I like to have is four egg whites on two bits of wholemeal toast, with a protein shake. The protein I use is Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard Whey. For all you people out there that don't like taking protein shakes because you don't want to put on weight, you should consider giving this or Optimum's Hydrowhey as they are filled with protein and have less than 200 calories per scoop.

But back onto the subject of this meal, I am going to give a quick few bullet points on preparation for this meal.

• Use four eggs and crack the shell and put just the egg white (not the yolk) into a jug.
• Add a tiny bit of milk (30ml) into the jug (semi skimmed milk) and stir mixture.
• Put into the microwave for about 3 minutes depending on how powerful your microwave is.
• Put bread into the toaster, then add low fat butter.
• Add semi skimmed milk into shaker bottle and 1 scoop of whey protein (shake mix).
• Dish up your egg onto your toast and add some pepper onto it.

And there you have it a nice easy post workout meal, around 600 calories and about 50 grams of protein, not bad for a 5 minute meal.

I have plenty of other post workout meals that I will post up on here, but this is a great easy meal for those who lack with time or have to go to work after the gym.
