What to eat directly after training: replenish the protein

Protein plays a fundamental role in the diet of recreational and professional athletes. Protein is an essential building block for muscle tissue. Therefore, its regular supply will not only help to maintain the muscle mass but can also really help its growth. Moreover, protein has a valuable effect on maintaining healthy bones and provides the body with a number of valuable amino acids.

From which products should protein be supplied?

• eggs
• fish and seafood
• white and red meat
• milk and milk products
• nuts, seeds and grains
• legumes (e.g. chickpeas, beans or peas)

High-protein supplements are also a good choice. The Olimp Sport Nutrition brand offers a wide range of products. Thanks to them you can easily and tastefully provide your body with complete protein. Whey Protein Complex 100% is the most popular product in this category, often used by professional athletes. It is a sensational combination of whey protein in concentrate (WPC) and isolate (WPI) forms in over a dozen extremely delicious flavours.

What to eat directly after training: necessary carbohydrates

Not only should protein be replenished immediately after training. Carbohydrates are equally valuable, which are the main source of energy for the body during the psychophysical effort. Moreover, some forms of carbohydrates (e.g. dextrose) have a valuable effect on the transport and use of other supplements (in this case the valuable creatine).

What should you eat to supplement your diet with carbohydrates? First of all, various types of groats, rice, whole-grain products (e.g. oat or spelt flakes) as well as fresh and dried fruit.

Carbohydrates can also be supplied as dietary supplements. For this purpose, it is worthwhile to use carbo supplements such as Carbonox from Olimp Sport Nutrition, which enriches the diet with a complex of carbohydrates (including glucose, isomaltulose and maltodextrin) with the addition of valuable L-arginine as well as essential vitamins and minerals. The product provides convenient support for glycogen resynthesis and renewal of exhausted energy reserves. The Carbonox supplement is available in several refreshing and fruity flavours that will help quench even the biggest thirst. The product is recommended for recreational and professional athletes of various sports disciplines.
