Heavy amount of protein will hamper the metabolic activities taking place in your body because post workouts, your body gets busy in forming muscles and repairing torn muscles. Under such a condition, it becomes hard for your body to digest excess of protein, which begins accumulating inside your body in the form of fats causing an increase in your weight.

Some healthy snacks

Since your body requires both carbs and proteins after workouts, you can easily prepare the snacks for you at home.

Take watery part of yogurt and one banana, peel off an apple, and blend all three of them in a juicer. Yogurt would provide you protein, and banana and apple would provide you healthy carbs and electrolytes.

There are myriad other healthy snacks, which you can have after workouts. Some of them are –

• Energy bars, smoothies, chocolate milk and others.
• Protein shake made from whey protein, water, and half a banana
• Green salad with olive oil
• Yogurt with almonds
• Granola bars
• Chicken with brown rice
• Crackers with cheese
• Vegetables and hummus
• Slice of fish with quinoa
• Turkey, apple, and cheese slices
