How to Build the Perfect Post-Workout Meal in Yorba Linda
Blog Content:
Recover Right. Train Harder. Feel Better.
Your workout doesn’t end when you leave the gym. In fact, your results depend on how you refuel. At Resolution CrossFit in Yorba Linda, we coach athletes to see nutrition as part of training—especially the post-workout meal.
Here’s how to keep it simple and effective.
1️⃣ Include Lean Protein (20–40g)
Protein is essential to repair and rebuild muscle.
Best local-friendly options:
Grilled chicken or turkey
Eggs or egg whites
Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
Fish like salmon or tilapia
We recommend whole-food sources first. Plant-based? Go with lentils, tofu, or seitan (all on the Eat More/Eat Some spectrum).
2️⃣ Add Smart Carbs (30–60g)
Carbs replenish glycogen stores and help you recover faster.
Great choices:
Sweet potatoes or potatoes
Brown rice, quinoa, or whole-grain pasta
Fresh fruits (bananas, berries, apples)
We teach clients to aim for whole, minimally processed carbs—fewer bars or sugary drinks.
3️⃣ Don’t Fear Healthy Fats (10–20g)
A little fat helps keep you full and supports recovery.
Top picks:
Avocado or guacamole
Olive oil drizzles
Nuts and seeds (chia, flax, almonds)
Precision Nutrition’s “Eat More” fats are perfect for these meals.
4️⃣ Simple Meal Ideas to Try
✅ Grilled chicken + sweet potato + steamed broccoli + olive oil
✅ Scrambled eggs + sautéed spinach + roasted potatoes + avocado
✅ Greek yogurt bowl with berries, chia seeds, and a drizzle of honey
✅ Tofu stir-fry with brown rice and mixed vegetables
