@fueledforsport: The 3 pillars for recovery: Fluids: to rehydrate, replace lost electrolytes and also help to cool the body down which can improve appetite post exercise Carbs: to replenish, signaling the body to stop breaking down and refuel energy stores that were used up during exercise Protein: to repair, building and repairing broken down tissues that occur during exercise as well as provide the tools to create new growth A meal that has all 3 components is what you want to consume and it doesn’t need to take a lot of time or energy to make. - PBJ with a cheese stick - Chocolate milk with a meat stick - Yogurt bowl with granola, fruit and chia seeds - Protein smoothie with fruit, nut butter and spinach - Scrambled eggs with cheese paired with English muffin and jelly Make sure to pair anything that is not already a liquid with a glass of water for hydration! Do not make the mistake of going to bed after late night practice with nothing to start the recovery process while you sleep.
