Post-workout protein

[SOY-COMO-SOY]

What does everyone here use to repair muscle after your workouts? recently I've just been getting back around time for a meal so I didn't worry about it but now i'm considering using some kind of product, I'm not really interested in things that will add a ton of weight because I'm 5 lbs over my desired weight right now but is there any certain food or product that provides good protein in moderation that you know of?

I drink a protein shake. I mix a scoop of strawberry whey protein (20g of protein) in with a cup of cold water.Mix it in a blender cuz it will taste a whole lot better. Then i put 2 whole bannannas in it(I cut 1 bannanna into about 8 small pieces) , then i blend it up one more time. Then down it.

i drink a whey protein shake with milk after working out. i'll also eat a bananna or something or a salad and count that as my lunch. it fills me up. i eat like oatmeal and oj in the morning. dinner i go with 2 chicken breasts, a salad and some kind of fruit.
its a very boring meal but it works for me. i allow myself to cheat a little on the weekends...

1) You were saying they had more protein than protein powder, I was saying they don't have more protein, never said anything about amino acids. (Carnitine, Arginine, Luecine, etc etc.) You may not find the amino acids you are looking for in vegetables.

2) You don't see people eating a bunch of green leafy vegetables to get huge do you? You see steaks, chicken, tuna, etc etc. You don't eat hair to grow hair, but you eat protein to build/repair muscle. Which steak, chicken, tuna, etc etc just so happens to have a good amount of protein.

It is meant for the calfs to grow. Just because they drink it doesn't mean we shouldn't. Calfs grow to be huge cows from drinking their mom's milk and eating grass. I wonder which one it is.

How can muscle look more natural? I can understand if they are using steroids, but i'm talking about all natural bodybuilders that eat meat etc etc but don't take steroids. Compare them to vegan ones.

all the aminos necessary are in vegatables

proof

look at gorillas

i understand that you eat protein to get big...but eating dead animal flesh isnt protein...its dead flesh...with parasites...aminos are protein..

i dont understand whats so hard about this.. a cow produces milk for her baby...like a womans breast produces milk for her baby...cows dont drink breast milk from women and the same is meant to be vica versa...the dairy industry is in it for money...if you are a track athelete you cant even use dairy because besides creating mucus in your respitory tract...it produces uric acid in your bones and muscles causing bones to break down and muscle to break down..

what i mean by natural muscles is really a more natural build...long lean muscles and next to no body fat because the diet has no starch or bad fats..

kenny williams is a moderatly famous vegan bodybuilder...you should look him up

Post-workout protein is essential for muscle recovery and growth after exercise. Consuming protein shortly after a workout helps repair muscle fibers, replenish energy stores, and support lean muscle development. Whether through shakes, bars, or whole foods, getting the right amount of protein can enhance results and speed up recovery, making it a key part of any fitness routine. The Nutrition Shop offers top-quality supplements for a healthier lifestyle.

For muscle repair without adding unwanted weight, many people turn to lean protein sources like Greek yogurt, eggs, or plant-based protein shakes. These options support recovery without excessive calories. According to a recent feature in Portsmouth News, maintaining a steady intake of moderate protein throughout the day is key for muscle health, especially when managing weight. If you're already close to your goal weight, it's best to avoid high-calorie supplements and instead opt for whole foods or low-calorie protein options. Timing matters less than consistency, so whether it's post-workout or during meals, just aim to meet your daily protein needs.

I’m not trying to bulk up either, just stay toned and recover well after workouts. I usually go for something light like Greek yogurt with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a small protein smoothie with almond milk and a scoop of plant-based protein powder. It’s enough to help with muscle repair without adding unnecessary calories. Sometimes I even order fresh, organic snacks from Misfits Market, and once had to reach out to misfits market customer service about a missing item, solved the problem.
