Why post-workout meals are important

[addalinnerlight]

After a workout your muscles are in a state to take up nutrients and rebuild themselves. Here’s why leucine is MANDATORY.
Exercise makes your muscle cells far more responsive to insulin for up to 24–48 hours.
Leucine itself stimulates a insulin release so taking it when your cells are receptive drives of amino acids into muscle faster. Therefore producing more igf-1 in the liver

Aim for 2-3g post workout and pair with 100-200g carbs
Here is my post workout meal.
30g whey isolate protein
100g dextrose (if you dont have dextrose replace with 200g White sugar or 400g Rice)
And water + rice


This meal is 2,7g leucine + 100g glucose.

You can do it still but eating before and none after Isnt ideal as you Wont have glycogen for the next workout + after training your muscles Will utilize carbs alot better
