Common conclusions

Protein is necessary to rebuild muscles, while carbs will re-stock glycogen, or energy stores, in your muscles. It is recommended for you to consume 0.14–0.23 grams of protein per pound of body weight after a workout .You should start eating tuna salads, grilled chicken, beef, whole eggs etc. after exercising.

Eating eggs after a workout session provides protein to your body in order to fuel the protein synthesis process. You should start eating an egg omelet with avocado spread on toast or something like that.

You could also start eating bananas after your workout because bananas are high in the good kinds of carbs that one deed after a workout and bananas have a great amount of potassium, so this is one reason bananas are a great post-workout snack for you.

Experts say that ideally you will want to consume between 15g and 25g of protein after a workout, which equals between 500ml and 750ml of chocolate milk. You could also start drinking coconut water, sports drinks, cherry juices etc.

Drinking water after a workout is so important for you because during a workout, the body loses a lot of fluids through sweating and leads to dehydration. Without an adequate supply of water the body will lack energy and muscles may cramp, so you should drink it before, during and after a workout.
