Post-Workout Nutrition: Why Tea and Biscuits Don’t Cut It

19
Post-Workout Nutrition

Are you part of the tea-biscuit club after workouts? Let’s be real — your muscles didn’t lift all that weight just for ginger tea and glucose biscuits.

The time right after your workout is your golden recovery window, when your body is most responsive to nutrition. What you eat (or don’t eat) now decides how well your muscles repair, recover, and grow.

☕ Why Tea and Biscuits Don’t Work

  • Empty Calories: Biscuits give you quick sugar but no nutrients for muscle recovery.
  • Caffeine Spike: Tea may give temporary energy but delays proper refueling.
  • Missed Opportunity: Your muscles need protein and complex carbs — not crumbs.

🥚 What to Eat After a Workout

Refuel with a combo of protein + complex carbs:

  • Boiled egg with banana
  • Paneer, chicken, or egg roll
  • Protein shake with fruit
  • Greek yogurt with oats
  • Dal with brown rice

These options restore glycogen, repair muscle, and keep you satisfied — unlike biscuits that leave you craving more.

🏋️‍♂️ Why Timing Matters

The 30–60 minutes after your workout is the best time to eat. Your muscles are primed to absorb nutrients for repair and growth. Skipping this or fueling wrong can slow your progress.

📌 Conclusion: Fuel Right, Recover Strong

Next time someone offers you tea and biscuits after a workout, just smile and say:
👉 “My muscles deserve better than dunked glucose.”

Remember, fitness is not just about the workout — it’s about what you feed your body afterwards. Choose wisely, and your recovery will reward you with strength, stamina, and real results.
