Supplementing your diet with adequate amounts of protein is easier than it sounds
“Am I getting enough protein? If not, how can I get more?” Since you’ve embarked on your fitness journey, you may well have pondered this question, especially when it comes to working out. You probably have done research on how beneficial protein is to your workout routine. But where and how, you may ask, are the best sources for getting adequate protein?
Protein for muscle repair
It’s necessary to ingest protein after a workout in order to repair your muscles. Essentially, consuming protein post-workout is to feed your muscles. How much protein, however, is dependent on your caloric intake and the intensity of your workout.
You’ll get the best benefits if you eat a protein-rich snack at least 20 minutes after you work out. Consider it your body’s recovery from strenuous exercise. It will enable you to retain energy for the rest of the day. The more intense your form of exercise – say, weight training or long distance running – the more stress you’ve put on to your muscles. Feeding them with protein will help the recovery stage along quicker.
