Refuel with a balanced meal containing proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrates within 45 minutes after your workout to aid in recovery and muscle growth. Consider including lean meat, beans, nuts, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables in your diet. Staying hydrated is equally important, so drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workout.
