Post Workout Nutrition for the Athlete

Studies show after a hard workout that white carbs with protein is effective because the white carbs shuttle the protein quicker to the muscles allowing for quicker recovery.

post workout meal thats affordable.

1 Ramen (add flavor packet [this holds majority of sodium content] while boiling soup)
1 Small Can of Chicken added into Ramen

Drain off the water/sodium and cook down for just another 30 seconds.

looking at $1.25 per serving
Nutrition Facts:
500 Calories Approx.
54g of Carbs
36g of Protein
18g of Total Fat
Sodium is tricky since we drain off the liquid from both the can of chicken and ramen flavor packet. I would conclude that you take in approximately 500mg of Sodium.
Your metabolism post workout along with a medium Banana and plenty of water counterbalances the sodium content.
