Work It Out Wednesday: Breakfast and Post Workout Nutrients

What did you eat for breakfast this morning?

Well it is not hard deviate from your "Healthy" choice of foods due to individuals working in the office scene where kolaches (A big pig in a blanket), biscuits, hash brown casseroles, doughnuts, snacks and everything else are within an arm's reach.  Also, people tend to deviate when their time is scarce.  Maybe you woke up late and were in a rush, or you spent your time getting the kids and hubby/wife out of the door and had 2 minutes to take care of your own hunger.  During these times you grab something quick and not so nutritious.  I have a solution that can help you out when you are tight on time.  It takes about 2 to 4 minutes to make and it is very nutritious and tasty!  Take a look at the video below.  If you try out the recipe in the video below let me know your results.  What is your quick "go to" breakfast choice?



Your post workout nutrition is just as important as your breakfast meal.  After you complete your workout your body needs to be replenished with protein and carbohydrates.  During your workout, you body uses the fuel that it has stored for its energy source.  This fuel needs to be replaced.  Replenishing your body with carbohydrates will replenish the muscle glycogen (Glycogen is the source of energy most often used for exercise).  Replenishing your body with protein will aid in muscle repair.  You should focus on easily digestible quick carbs and quickly digestible protein.

According to  "Truth about abs"  ,  a good source of quickly digestible natural carbs such as frozen bananas, pineapples, honey, or organic maple syrup are perfect to elicit an insulin response that will promote muscle glycogen replenishment and a general anabolic muscle building effect. The more you can assist the muscle repair process, the more you increase your metabolic rate and can help your fat loss as well.
The best source of quickly digestible protein is a quality non-denatured whey protein and/or some fat-free or low-fat yogurt.
