What do you eat after you work out?
I'm often famished after I workout and want to eat the first thing that I see (snacks like popcorn and crackers) but it's later at night and I know that defeats the purpose of my workout!

Re: What do you eat after you work out?
I was just thinking that b/c I'm starving right now but I just ran so I don't want all that running to be pointless.  I'm thinking peanut butter on a rice cake.

I usually work out in the morning and usually have a bowl of Special K or Oatmeal afterwards. I know its hot for oatmeal, but it fills me up!

Okay I just ate 2 slices of muenster cheese, 1/2 a peach and 2 of these crispy puffed wheat things (kind of like a rice cake and says 16 cal each).

Re: What do you eat after you work out?
I work out in the mornings now so I'll have cereal or fruit before I go and then which ever one I didn't have I have when I get back home. When I used to work out at night I would come home and have either fruit or a ww dessert depending on what I was in the mood for.

Re: What do you eat after you work out?
I work out only at night except for Sundays so I will eat dinner after I workout during the week.
I will usually have protein and veggies.
ETA..on sundays after I workout I will have a yogurt.

Depends on what time of the day I did it. But often, a cold glass of chocolate milk!

I eat whatever meal is next. If I'm between meals I will have some cottage cheese and fruit.

ditto to chocolate milk. It actually has the perfect balance of protein and carbs for a post-workout recovery meal. they have tested it against specific post workout drinks and chocolate milk is equal to or better than the others.
I also find that milk fills me up a bit.

Re: What do you eat after you work out?
I usually work out first thing in the morning, so I have breakfast.
I read somewhere that something calcium-rich is good to have after exercising because it helps burn calories. The few times I worked out later in the say I'd have a fat-free yogurt smoothie.

Re: What do you eat after you work out?
The first thing I have is peanut butter on a rice cake (or those yummy pop things from Uncle Guiseppes). Funny because I think someone posted that up top and that is exactly what I have!

I eat dinner by 6 or so with my kids. Then, I work out about 8-9pm. I can't eat dinner at 9 or 10.

Re: What do you eat after you work out?
hmm..what about some lowfat/nonfat greek yogurt and berries or something? definitely try the protein shake right after. you want to get the protein in you the quickest way to replenish your muscles.
