What you eat - and how soon you eat - after a workout can make a huge difference to your "mega muscle" gains.
Having the right combination of nutrients (not necessarily via a full-blown meal) within the first 15 minutes of finishing an intense workout can improve your muscle gains considerably.
On the flip side... if you wait too long after your workout to consume the right nutrients, you may not build as much muscle. In fact, you may even start to lose some muscle mass that you already have.
So, what is this ideal combination of nutrients to consume within 15 minutes of finishing a workout?
It is one part protein and 1.5 parts carbohydrates. Protein is obviously the building blocks for your muscles. And, pairing this protein with the right amount of carbohydrates helps your body absorb and utilize the protein more efficiently.
Many athletes purchase post-workout drinks, shakes or supplements that promise to deliver the ideal ratio of protein and carbohydrates for maximum muscle replenishment and growth.
