The Extreme Cobb Salad

So you put in the work and are now STARVING! What should you eat post-workout to 1.) Actually REFUEL your body and 2.) Stick to your nutrition goals?

The best answer depends on your workout type + intensity. Our post-workout meals are not a one-size-fits-all suggestion, but here is a great tip to get started on the right track - skip alcohol or high-fat foods within the first hour of your workout. 

🍺 Alcohol can halt your recent training gains and stall your muscles from recovering properly. 

🍟 Healthy fats, like sliced avocado, are okay, but high fat/low nutrient foods that are greasy will leave you feeling sluggish + bloated, not fueled.
