3 Best Post Workout Meals

I want you to focus on what REALLY matters for my upcoming program. Carbohydrates are key for replenishing glycogen stores, which are crucial for post-workout recovery and sustained energy. However, no white bread or shitty carbs.

Here’s a list of good carbs for you to consume…

• Sprouted grain bread
• Whole wheat pasta
• Quinoa
• Lentils
• Whole fruit
• Brown rice

Now, am I including some of these foods in the recipes? No, but you can make your own breakfast, for example, whole fruit with greek yogurt for protein.

Replenishing muscle glycogen with carbohydrates after exercise is essential to enhance recovery and reduce muscle breakdown.

Let’s keep moving forward with the best post workout meals.

Poached Eggs with Asparagus Toast

You need to learn how to poach eggs. And I want to be clear, it doesn’t need to be a perfectly poached egg, just go through my article.

Read the instructions on how to poach eggs the right way. For extra added protein, do two eggs in a boiling pot of water.

More importantly, use olive oil in a medium sauce pan, put 8 asparagus in the pan and let the asparagus cook till slightly browned. Add salt and pepper for flavor. Healthy fats like olive oil can help reduce inflammation and aid in nutrient absorption.

After that, toast your sprouted grain bread, and now you are done. All you do is you put the asparagus on the toast when it's finished.

Then you put the poached eggs in a strainer, and carefully use a slotted spoon, and put it on top of the toast. Protein is crucial for muscle repair and recovery, making this meal perfect post-workout.

BOOM. Delicious. You gotta try this, it’s very good.

Homemade Chilli

This meal is excellent for supporting muscle growth due to its balanced protein and nutrient content.

Step 1. Melt Ghee in large saucepan over medium-high heat

Step 2. Add Onion; cook, stir occasionally, for about 5 minutes maximum. 

Step 3. Add one clove of garlic to the pan

Step 4. Add 90% lean beef, kidney beans, tomato (with liquid), red wine, cayenne, cumin, and chili powder. Bring to a boil, reduce heat; gently boil, stirring occasionally for 20 to 23 minutes

Step 5. Evenly divide between each serving bowls; top each with grated parmesan cheese. 

Recipe note: You have an optional step to add more carbs by dipping with whole wheat roll

Slow Cooked Poblano Pork with Baked Potato

Before we even get in to the recipe, you need 1 large poblano pepper. To char poblano, turn your stove to medium high flame.

Carefully place poblano directly on the burner and over the flame, using tongs. Poblano will slowly get little blisters that will turn black.

Turn frequently, so that the entire poblano is evenly charred on all sides. Do not leave unattended because you want the skin to darken, but do not burn entirely and turn to ash.

Remove blackened poblano. Place in a resealable plastic bag for five minutes, or until skin is easily removed.

Here’s everything you need for this recipe:

• 1 lb Raw Center-Cut Pork Loin

• 2 tsp. Ghee

• 1 tsp. ground smoked paprika

• 1 Large Poblano Pepper

• 2 Cloves of Garlic

• 1/4 Medium Red Onion cut in to Chunks

• 1/4 Reduced-Fat Sour Cream

• 1/4 Fresh Cilantro

• 1 tbsp. Fresh Lime Juice

• 1 tsp. Ground Cumin

• 1 tsp. Chili Powder

This meal is excellent for supporting muscle growth due to its balanced protein and nutrient content.

1. Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels

2. Coat pork with ghee. Season lightly with salt and pepper (if desired). Sprinkle evenly with paprika and rub seasoning in. Set aside

3. Place charred poblano, garlic, onion, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, cumin and chili powder in blender; cover. Blend until smooth. Set aside. 

4. Preheat cast iron skillet, or heavy-bottomed pan, over high heat. Add pork; sear for 2 minutes on each of four sides, or until deep brown. Set aside.

5. Place seared pork in 3 quart slow cooker. Pour poblano mixture over top; cover and cook on low for 5 hours maximum or until pork is tender.

This is such a good recipe to even make for yourself or if you have a girlfriend, she will be impressed. 

It's a southwestern style flavored pork and you have the option to bake a potato if you are bulking. You need carbs post workout, especially if you're a hardgainer, like me.

The Bottom Line

Every one of these meals are excellent post workout due to the high amount of protein and carbohydrates. 

Especially with how important it is to get in the right macro-nutrients and meet your daily caloric needs. 

I will always promote living a healthy lifestyle and that means eating the right foods, because as we know, if you've heard any shocking truth's on Adam Skoda...

I absolutely despise all fast food places such as McDonalds, Burger King, Mr Hero, Chick-fil-A, Taco Bell, Wendy's and Arby's.

A common enemy that you'll hear me talk about on my podcast. If you want to get fit and STAY FIT, fast food chains is the enemy if you have a goal to lose weight.

Let me tell you all something, I met someone who worked at Wendy's. She told me how they make the Chili, and it's literally leftovers carelessly tossed in a bag and the protein quality literally makes you sick.

So I suggest you put some effort in to your nutrition and make the Homemade Chili. Don't choose the easy way out, be a man, and choose hard over easy.
