What's your go-to meal after a CrossFit workout?

Question

Patrick Vellner · Answer

This depends a bit on if I have to train again or not. If I'm in between two sessions, I'll probably eat something that's pretty carb heavy and not super protein heavy. I might have some liquid protein, but usually like, you know, either a big bunch of rice and a little bit of lean protein like egg or chicken, no veggies, probably a piece of fruit, something that's gonna give me some sugars as well. If I don't have to train again, it probably will still be heavy on the carbs, but I'll have a bit more protein in it. And sometimes just as a treat, I have a bit of a sweet tooth, so I kind of, I'll mix myself up like a big, like oatmeal or granola kind of thing with some yogurt and some fruit and things like that and mix some protein into it. So it just like, it kind of hits that sweet spot that I want. And it's the end of your day. So having a bunch of yogurt or things like that isn't gonna bog you down or make you bloated or anything like that for another session. But that's usually my go-to. It's always lots of carbs. You don't wanna be feeling super heavy with a bunch of protein or fats if you're going into another session. But once it's done for the day, I tend to go nuts and I'll have a nice meal that's gonna make me feel right sitting on the couch for at least an hour.
