For example, you want to make sure you eat plenty of good carbs like fruits, dark leafy veggie and maybe a little pasta. You should also add some protein to the mix like chicken, eggs or even a protein bar. And don’t forget the healthy fats like avocados and nuts.

So when you put these all together it looks like this. Here’s are a few meals you can eat after your workout.

• Egg omelet with avocados
