Post Workout Meal

Before going over our first meal, you probably will find a trend in these post workout meals in terms of one ingredient that will show up a lot- Chicken. And why chicken? Because chicken contains lean protein, which will factor into your muscle growth. 

Recipe (Personal Dish):

3 cups of white rice

2 large carrots

One bush of broccoli

1/2 pound of chicken

Garlic salt, brown sugar, soy sauce

Your first step should be to boil the rice on high heat. Once the water starts to evaporate and the rice becomes tender, slowly turn down the temperature until it is low and the rice is finished. 

While doing that, create your marinade using 3-4 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 2-3 pinches of garlic sauce and a teaspoon of brown sugar. Mix this with green and red peppers as well. 

Once the 1/2 pound of chicken is marinating, take the vegetables (that you've cut up!) and throw them into a stir fry pan for about 4-6 minutes. Once these veggies have heated up take them off the stove and put them to the side. 

When the chicken is done marinating, put it on a pan for about a 3 minutes on each side. Once it has cooked to a certain point (usually the chicken is still a little pink in the middle), take the vegetables and mix everything in the stir fry pan for about 10 minutes. 

What's key in this recipe is not only that protein, but the B Vitamin you are ingesting as well. Not only that, we are using white rice rather than brown because it has a high glycemic index, something that helps rebuild muscle and replenish muscle so that you don't feel as sore the next day.
