Recovery starts the second your session ends. Here’s what our trainers reach for after a tough workout.
Jamie: His plate is dialed in: two eggs over easy, two extra egg whites, and a slice of Dave’s Killer White Bread. Nearly 30 grams of protein, nutrient-rich yolks, and enough carbs to refill glycogen stores. Simple and nutritious!
Tramell: His top pick is a plate of fish with sweet potatoes and broccoli. It’s nutrient-dense, easy to digest, and hits the perfect balance of protein, carbs, and fiber. Simple, delicious, and ideal for recovery.
Sangeeta: She prefers a clean, efficient option — a protein shake. Fast to make, easy to digest, and perfect for muscle repair on the go.
Peyton: A classic bodybuilding-style plate: ground turkey, rice, and broccoli. Balanced, predictable, and perfect for steady progress.
Gabe: On a standard day, he fuels up with 8 oz of chicken breast, 300 g of jasmine rice, 300 g of blueberries and blackberries, and a 12 oz orange juice — a nutrient-packed combo built for recovery and performance.
But on a cheat day? Gabe is at a sushi spot demolishing six or seven rolls before finishing strong with mango sticky rice.
Will: His go-to is fat-free yogurt paired with fortified granola. It’s filling, packs an impressive 25–40 grams of protein per serving, and offers a balanced mix of macro- and micronutrients. Simple, satisfying, and easy to keep on hand.
Marisa: Her go-to post-workout choice is a protein shake — quick, convenient, and perfect for lunch-break training sessions. Later in the day she aims for a balanced dinner with healthy fats, carbs, and at least 20 grams of protein to round out her recovery.
