Eating the wrong foods post-workout can stunt muscle growth, cause fat gain, and dehydrate your body. You can easily spend an hour or longer working your butt off in the gym, and reverse all that hard work with just one awful post-workout meal. And worst part is that a lot of the common recommendations (1) of what to eat or drink after a workout are actually based on outdated myths, so it's very likely that you're hurting your progress right now based on bad advice. So let's go over 10 foods that you should limit or avoid post-workout.
And first, we have high-sugar foods and drinks. It's common to see people drinking things like Gatorade or other sports drinks after their workout and there are actually a few reasons behind this. You see during your workout you deplete glycogen, which is a stored form of carbohydrates. That glycogen is used for energy and is beneficial for optimal performance, especially during high-intensity activities like lifting weights or sprinting. By drinking a sports drink like Gatorade or even other high sugar nonsports drinks like soda or chocolate milk, you're able to quickly refill those glycogen stores so your muscles are better prepared for your next intense workout. However, the problem is that a lot of people that workout, are doing so because their goal is to burn fat and get lean. It's not to bulk up and it's not to be a better athlete. Unfortunately, the calories from high-sugar drinks and high-sugar foods like candy are not filling and will usually go on top of the calories that you already eat on a daily basis. You can still replenish your glycogen stores with the food you eat throughout the rest of the day after your workout it'll just take a little longer, but complex carbohydrates are much more filling than simple sugars and offer additional nutrients. A baked potato for example is one of the most filling carbohydrates according to the satiety index, and it can be paired with a filling high-protein meal to help you burn fat. Another common belief is that you need a bunch of sugar after a workout to boost insulin because insulin helps shuttle nutrients like amino acids and glycogen into your muscle cells. And sure maybe this can help if your goal is to maximize performance maybe if you're training twice a day to become an athlete, or if you want to bulk up or gain weight, but it's absolutely not necessary and can hurt your progress if your goal is fat loss. Whey protein itself is actually highly insulinogenic, so you can get the benefits of a spike in insulin just by having a low-calorie whey protein shake after your workout, rather than taking in a bunch of extra sugar.
Next is alcohol. This is something that you want to limit in your diet in general and it definitely has no place after a workout for many reasons. First is dehydration. Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it increases urine production which can lead to dehydration. This is the exact opposite of what you want. After a workout, your body needs to rehydrate to recover properly. Drinking alcohol on the other hand can lead to muscle cramps, fatigue, and impaired performance. The second issue is that alcohol can interfere with your body's ability to repair and rebuild muscle tissue after a workout. This is due to its negative effect on protein synthesis and other essential metabolic functions. This can lead to our third problem which is that alcohol post-workout will hinder Muscle Growth. It's obvious that sending alcohol to your broken-down muscle tissues instead of amino acids for recovery is a very bad idea for gaining muscle.
But, that's not all, alcohol can affect the balance of hormones in your body, including testosterone, which is very important for muscle growth. Another issue is that alcohol can interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients, including vitamins and minerals. Also just like sugar, alcohol contains empty Calories with mostly no nutritional value contributing to fat gain. On top of that, it can easily cause you to make bad decisions and overindulge: After a hard workout, you're likely to already feel hungry as it is, but alcohol can lower inhibition, impair your judgment, and lower self-control. It can also enhance the taste and smell of food, release more dopamine making you feel good while eating junk food, and it can reduce the feeling of being full.
That'll probably lead you to eat the next foods you should avoid after a workout which are fried foods as well as other highly fattening foods like pizza and hot dogs. The first reason why you should avoid fried foods is because, just like pastries and foods high in sugar, fried foods are...
1. High sugar food and drinks
2. Sugar after workout
3. Alcohol
4. Fried foods
5. Just salad or just vegetables
6. Excessive protein bars
7. Mass gainers
8. Eating nothing at all
9. Anti Inflammatory medication
10. Highly processed foods
High Sugar foods and drinks are actually beneficial after Resistance Training, because of the Insulin. Jay Cutler advised for a Coke after workout and Markus Ruehl advised for plain marshmallows or marshmallow spread directly after workout (in combination with protein etc.)
Just eat a few bananas. Might not be as appetizing but they have a decent amount of sugar and you'll get some potassium in at the same time.

Thank you for the video request I can't imagine people eating the wrong foods post workouts
After a fasted workout I consume an isolate whey and casien protien shake within the first hour of lifting. If I ate less than 3 hours before a resistant training workout, I have a protien shake 1 to 2 hours after the workout, and light second meal that usually consits of greens and protien.
Thank you very much
Thanks doctor
What should I eat after a workout then
Respectttt broo✅✅✅
Wow! thanks, I'm glad you mentioned tylenol too, looking forward to the Gravity program. : D
Can you please tell me, what is the best amount of time to workout if you only want to build muscle, no need for weight loss just gaining muscle, I don't want to overtrain and lose gains, I'm aware of strength training with weights, but please let me know how long (time) days per week please?
Meaty salads n pastas made right work well along with many other amazing recipes made with different meats along with all kinds of natural products like veggies n herbs loaded with good vitamins while throwing in some extra protein from the protein shakes
Needtokoin your aid. Have to get back to watching your videos
Thankyou for your guidance. I ll have (A) Filling Carbohydrates i.e. Mashed Potatoes and/or (B) Fried CheesePops or Cheesesticks or French Fries and Burger/Sandwich after Workout when I come abroad ..
Tylenol is not an anti inflammatory; it is a pain reliever.
man must have never had a Guinness after a workout. cheat code.
When he said alcohol leads to bad decisions....a few women came to mind from my younger years. LMAO!
Acute muscle inflammation is the only reason I do workout. It's like a kind of durg. And with this inflammation if you go for body massage 💆♂️ it feels too good
Ahhhh man I'm so excited but I'm sad it's over😅
😂😂
I eat Nothing after workout/cardio cuz of cutting for few months
Carbs and sugar for pre workout and protein for post workout💪
Would've never guessed Tylenol was killing my gains. Thnx!
There are current studies that show that those who took up to 400 mg of ibuprofen post workout showed greater gains of muscle than those who didn't. But those who took greater than 400 mg of ibuprofen, had a negative effect on muscle gains. I usually take an Advil or 200 mgs of ibuprofen on my heavy deadlift days.
Are bananas and other fruits ok after workout? Along with whey milkshake?
Bananas are one of the fruits that are on the higher end of sugar content. If you are carb sensitive, you could cut the banana in half and add it to your whey isolate protein shake. If you are not carb sensitive, it should be fine. Bananas contain 422mg of potassium and 3g of fiber, & 14 grams of sugar.
If you are looking for fiber, Flax seeds and chia seeds are an excellent option.
Yes
Potatoes are high in oxalates. Please see the 2022 book, TOXIC SUPERFOODS, by Sally K. Norton.
Tylenol is not a NSAID and it shouldnt be grouped with ADVIL(Ibuprophen) as anti-inflammatory- ??
My PWO shake: 50g organic brown rice farina, 50g organic sprouted oats, 25g Cluster Dextrin, 2 scoops unflavored 88% WPI, 2tbsp simply Hershey chocolate sauce. Macro’s: 815 cal’s, 4g fat, 120g carbs, 68g protein, 8g fiber, 22g sugar. I’m bulking and do intense lifting. If I want more cals and fats as MCT’s I toss in 20g of unsweetened organic coconut flakes yielding an extra 140 cal’s, 12g fat, 6g carbs, 4g fiber.
Hello from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park 🎃🍁🌄
whats wrong with a 90% lean burger? without any fried foods
Sorry I’m 36 I’m taking ibuprofen before, during, and after a workout lol
Just rewarded myself after leg day with a massive ice cream cone.
Basically these are the things you should never eat or drink, whether or not is just after working out.
You’re worried about not getting enough protein right after your workout? Don’t they say that’s a myth and it doesn’t matter when you take in your protein as long as it’s high in your diet overall??
Alcohol and simple carbs are not missed. Life is a lot better now.

Watching this while having biryani
And after workout
If my workout coincides with my feeding window I have nuts seeds kefir and a can of sardines. Maybe add an avocado. Maybe some almond butter too.
Almond "butter" is useless and toxic.
The most want gain muscle or not on a diet i dont eat Burgers. Normal i eat shusi rice, green beans and beef since 25 years
Tylenol (acetaminophen) is not an NSAID.
So many times, I eat a bowl of chips when I'm watching TV and then I feel guilty.
Absolutely unskipable videos. Good job.
MMMMMMMMMM.... Chocolate milk... LOL
I was eating a hand full of nuts
1. High Sugar foods & drinks
2. Sugar in all its forms
3. Alcohol
4. Fried foods, pizza, hot dogs
5. Salad or Vegetables unless you add chicken or tuna or any protein source
6. Protein bars
7. Mass gainers
8. Eating nothing at all after workout is wrong too
9. Anti-inflammatory meds incl NSAIDs
10. Processed foods like chips & crackers
You have to have proteins, complex carbohydrates & healthy fats after a workout
11. You're welcome
Who’s drinking after their workout tho 🤣🤣
I eat tuna aot after gym
Gatorade tastes terrible. Tried once, no more. Water tastes better than Gatorade !
Egg nog is not good for recovery?!
Jokes on you, I drink my beers, intra workout to confuse the muscles
👍🏻
Bruh we've all been lied to
What about a whole bag of pizza rolls?
So what you are saying is we should eat these foods BEFORE our workouts. 🤔
Can i trust whey protein nutrition facts labels?
Where can I test these values individually in a lab, I don’t know where to find these labs
I would add beans or tofu to the salad. Basically adding protein with out the animals.
I eat a ton of rice atfer workout 🤭😆
❤
This vid has NOT been brought to you by PIZZA
If Post workout anabolic window is a myth, then why do you mention that you have to eat something whether than nothing after you workout. Sounds like to me you contradict yourself, meaning that the Post workout anabolic window isn't a myth .
I eat chicken and eggs after my workouts
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Almost after every one of my workouts i drink a tall glass of WHOLE MILK!
Thank God. My religion forbid me to drink alcholol. Alchohol has so much nagative effect when you are building muscle.
Who tf is eating 5 protein bars in one sitting
Too many unnecessary suggestions. I don't eat before and after workout to stimulate ketosis. We are all different
Brilliant of course but just the salads and vegetables would cause a confusion for me when the vegetables in particular,is the healthiest ever source of a person's health,good friends!!!🙏🏻
I think post workout meal should be considered more
It's pronounced "brotien"
Kinda all common sense 😂
Never been this early before
You forgot to mention that you should never eat ze bugs, and Bill Gates should go on trial.
dude where are you getting your facts from? are you just making crap up?
duhhh seems obvious 😅
Lol what's up with all the celebrities in this video?
And chill out with the editing. It's distracting.
