Post Exercise Food

Did you know after a workout there is a window of opportunity and your muscles are starving for nutrients.  This opportunity is within one hour of your workout.  A meal including protein and slow burning carbs is the most beneficial for muscle repair and recovery.  Eggs, chicken and fish are good protein sources, and whole oats, brown rice and quinoa are good carb sources.  Whey protein in a bar supplement form is also a good choice when pressed for time.  A 3 to 1 ratio of carbs to protein is recommended with approximately 20 grams of protein.  What is your post workout meal?
