Refuel post workout

Eating healthily in general is pretty important, but for those who go hard at it in the gym, you need to pay extra attention to mealtimes, too. You have probably seen those hardcore gym goers glugging their protein shakes before they have even left the changing rooms, and heres why: after a workout, the muscles are primed to absorb protein, so you want to take advantage of this. Were not saying everyone should be on the shakes, but make sure you go for a protein-heavy meal like chicken or fish after you have exercised.
