You’ve just crushed a workout—whether it was on the field, in the gym, or during practice. Now comes the part that fuels your gains: recovery. Nutrition plays a massive role in how fast and how well your body bounces back. At fitgit.me, we’re all about helping you make smart choices that power up your performance tracking and keep you at your best.

Refuel with the Right Carbs

Think of carbohydrates as your body’s gas tank. After training, it’s running low. Reach for whole grains, fruits, or even a simple smoothie with oats and bananas. These quick-digesting carbs help restock your energy stores so you’re ready for your next challenge.

Rebuild with Protein

Muscles grow stronger when you feed them right. Within 30–60 minutes post-workout, get in 15–25g of protein. Greek yogurt, eggs, lean meats, or plant-based shakes get the job done. Pair it with carbs and you’ve got a winning combo.

Rehydrate Like a Pro

Don’t overlook fluids! Rehydrating after sweat loss helps your muscles recover and keeps you feeling energized. Add a pinch of sea salt or grab coconut water for electrolytes.

Smart nutrition means smarter recovery—and that leads to stronger performance. Stay consistent, trust your grind, and keep tracking those gains with fitgit.me’s performance tracking tools.

Always remember to TTFBs!!!
