Protein is something that you should take in additional amounts after a hard strenuous workout. When you workout, your body has to break down the muscle in order for it to build it back up. When you eat extra protein it will help to repair the muscle and make it stronger the next time that you go for your workout. After I run, I make sure to drink a protein shake within the first hour. This helps with the muscle replenishing process and makes me feel better. In the picture above I have some of my favorite forms of protein that I take.
A boiled egg, 2 T Peanut butter on 1 slice bread, zone protein bars, Power bar harvest protein bar, Atkins protein shake (vanilla is my favorite), myoplex lite protein shake (powder form). You can also buy the myoplex in the already premade shakes at Sam's club.
