You've just crushed your workout and, after catching your breath, the first thing on your mind is food. Yes, you need protein, but you're probably hankering for carbs. After all, your depleted glycogen stores aren't going to replenish themselves. Whether your tooth is sweet or savory, a stuffed potato could be the way to go!
We all harp on the importance of post-workout protein, but we often forget about the importance of carbs. So, next time you go to grill that steak, throw on a side of baked potato. Or, better yet, make that hot potato the star of your dish. Try this muscle-building recipe to satisfy your hunger, kick-start recovery and growht, and get you primed for your next gym session.
