Chapter 15 — Fitness & Exercise
What should I eat after a workout?
Some protein (20–40 g) and carbs within 2 hours. Nothing magic about a 30-minute window unless training fasted. Total daily intake still matters most.
Follow-up questions
Protein shake required?
No — a chicken sandwich, Greek yogurt with fruit, or eggs on toast all work fine.
Chocolate milk?
Actually decent — carbs, protein, salt, and cheap. Popular in endurance sports.
