Grains

You finished you’re grueling workout and now it’s time for some post-workout recovery.  What do you grab?  Hopefully a source of protein to kickstart the recovery process and help rebuild all of those torn down muscle fibers.  Many people prefer to also include a carbohydrate source along with their post-workout nutrition.  This is fine, however, you should be aware of the type of carbohydrate you’re consuming.  One thing to keep in mind is that you should avoid grains post-workout if you want to maximize your recovery timing.
