What should I eat?

• Whole wheat toast with avocado and crushed red pepper
• Scrambled eggs and veggies with salsa on a whole wheat tortilla
• Greek yogurt or cottage cheese with fresh berries and sliced almonds
• A protein shake with banana, almond butter and cinnamon

Regardless of which post-workout meal or snack you choose, make sure to wash it down with plenty of water! Ideally, you should drink as much water as you lost by sweating during your workout. However, that can be hard to gauge, so use your thirst as a guide. As a general rule, drink half your body weight in ounces of water per day, and add an additional 16 ounces per 30-minute workout.
