Nourish your Body Correctly after Hitting the Gym

You may have been working out a lot for your New Year’s resolution, but is your diet replenishing all those hard worked muscles? Athletes need to have the correct amount of carbs to fuel their muscles… that means if you work out on a regular basis, you should be getting about 260 grams of carbohydrates per day. To do this just add 100 percent whole grains, fruits and vegetables to your diet. And after you work out, don't forget to repair your muscles with protein. Protein like turkey, chicken, fish and lentils are all great lean options. Be sure to eat 120 grams of protein per day and keep your fat intake to no more than 60 grams per day. You can keep a daily food journal or apps like my fitness pal and fooducate to track your protein and carb intake!
