Once broken down into amino acids, protein helps repair those damaged muscle fibers and strengthens their bonds, helping them grow in size. These amino acids also help with muscle recovery and allow you to train stronger and more powerfully every time you grab a set of dumbbells.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/20-Ounce-Shaker-Bottle-Protein-Dishwasher\/dp\/B09DJ3HM2R\/ref=sxin_15_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa?content-id=amzn1.sym.14a246c3-7a62-40bf-bdd0-5ac67c2a1913%3Aamzn1.sym.14a246c3-7a62-40bf-bdd0-5ac67c2a1913&amp;crid=1DFNT9LWPFWCR&amp;cv_ct_cx=protein+shaker&amp;keywords=protein+shaker&amp;pd_rd_i=B09DJ3HM2R&amp;pd_rd_r=a7de1044-7b49-4da9-9d0e-d5b498562fd0&amp;pd_rd_w=DuKuY&amp;pd_rd_wg=IOgju&amp;pf_rd_p=14a246c3-7a62-40bf-bdd0-5ac67c2a1913&amp;pf_rd_r=G157PFW162N3BCRDWZFP&amp;qid=1673618264&amp;sprefix=protein+shaker%2Caps%2C414&amp;sr=1-3-a73d1c8c-2fd2-4f19-aa41-2df022bcb241-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExWU1IOFJWQThCV0lJJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTU5MDY0MURXMTdZWlBaRDBORSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzgxNzYxOFhQUlhEWFdFOTBPJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3Bfc2VhcmNoX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==&amp;tag=lsmedia-13816-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/419EY6r5sCL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Every person has different protein needs and as one of the most important macronutrients in our diet, it\u2019s crucial to hit our daily recommendations. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/how-much-protein-do-you-need-every-day-201506188096\">How much protein you need per day<\/a> depends on a variety of factors, and the current recommended dietary guidelines mention just\u00a00.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, which <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26891166\/\">experts agree<\/a> isn\u2019t even close to being enough, especially if you\u2019re working out.<\/p>\n<p>This is why a high-protein meal is a popular post-workout choice, especially if your goal is to grow muscle and burn fat.

What is better? After a tough workout, especially if it was endurance-focused, you\u2019ve most likely burned through your glycogen storage. This means there is no more glucose left in the tank and if you were to increase your strain, your body will have to either create more glucose by breaking down the protein in your body or by activating ketones and burning stored fat.<\/p>\n<p>The latter is preferred, for obvious reasons, and that\u2019s why many people <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34185279\/\">choose the low-carb diet<\/a> in order to stimulate their bodies to start using fat for fuel. This works well for anyone who is trying to lose weight, burn fat, or\u00a0lower carbohydrate intake for health reasons.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, there are people whose bodies need a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35479739\/\">larger amount of carbs<\/a> in order to boost their performance and daily strain. That\u2019s why a high-carb post-workout meal is usually the most popular with endurance athletes so they replenish their glycogen storages and have enough energy in the tank to run another 15 miles the following day.<\/p>\n<p>Great carbohydrate options include whole grain bread and pasta, oats, rice, quinoa, and a variety of fruit and vegetables. What will work for you and your digestion depends on your gut health and your ability to break down certain types of carbohydrates. If you\u2019re someone who really needs carbs to thrive, do a little experiment on yourself and see what works best for you to feel and perform at your best.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Quaker-Instant-Oatmeal-Protein-Variety\/dp\/B07NLWVLCC?tag=lsmedia-13816-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51ZyRo9IWDL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Fats_the_Way_to_Go\"><\/span>Are Fats the Way to Go?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><span style=\"display: block; position: relative; z-index: 100; width: 44px; height: 44px; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65); float: right; margin-bottom: -44px;\"><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/link\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesavvy.com%2F158514%2Fwhat-should-you-eat-after-a-workout%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesavvy.com%2Fp%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F08%2F6cff554d.jpg&amp;description=What+Should+You+Eat+After+a+Workout%3F\" aria-label=\"Pin this on Pinterest\"><br \/>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"44\" height=\"44\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"><g fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><path d=\"M15.164 18.532c-.011.039-.022.072-.03.106-.503 1.97-.56 2.408-1.076 3.322-.246.436-.524.847-.832 1.242-.034.044-.067.102-.136.088-.076-.016-.082-.084-.09-.145-.083-.599-.128-1.2-.108-1.803.026-.788.123-1.058 1.139-5.327a.295.295 0 0 0-.024-.178c-.244-.656-.291-1.32-.079-1.995.459-1.456 2.11-1.567 2.398-.366.178.743-.292 1.716-.653 3.152-.299 1.186 1.097 2.03 2.29 1.163 1.1-.798 1.527-2.71 1.446-4.067-.16-2.703-3.125-3.287-5.005-2.417-2.157.997-2.647 3.67-1.673 4.891.123.156.219.25.177.408-.062.245-.117.49-.185.734-.05.182-.202.247-.385.173a2.212 2.212 0 0 1-.9-.675c-.827-1.024-1.064-3.049.03-4.763 1.21-1.9 3.463-2.668 5.52-2.435 2.457.28 4.01 1.958 4.3 3.863.133.867.038 3.006-1.18 4.518-1.402 1.737-3.672 1.852-4.72.786-.08-.082-.145-.178-.224-.275\" fill=\"#FFF\"\/><\/g><\/svg><br \/>\n<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-142914\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6cff554d.jpg\" alt=\"Different types of fat on a wooden table.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/healthy-fats-nutrition-salmon-avocado-oil-735347980\">Goskova Tatiana\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The last important macronutrient group are healthy fats.
