Tonight

There was an article that stated the best time to replenish energy after a hard workout was within the first two hours. The article suggested that most of the food should be carbohydrate with a smaller portion of protein added. I tried to recall what type of food I ate after a hard workout. I have hard workouts in both weight lifting and running. I recalled one hard lifting weight workout and being offered a steak supper afterwards. I had no appetite for any food and even the steak supper didn’t appeal to me. An hour later after a shower and changing clothes my attitude about eating had changed and I was starving for a good meal. After a 20 mile run training for a marathon my first thought was to find a soft place to lay down and rest. After an hour long nap the need to eat some food became a primary focus. The difference between a workout with weights and a long run was after a run the main food has carbohydrates versus a steak after a weight workout. As I look back on those hard workout days and the need to recover some energy, any food was a good choice whether it was the steak or a pasta supper.
