My favorite post workout meal

Time to get deep down and personal. My favorite post workout meal will usually carry ALOT of protein. If you have seen the “my story” section you will know by now that i am built a little different than most.
The same principles still apply to me – but i just need more.

So because i do my workout in the morning i have a tendency to fall into the “food wall” if i eat too much carbs early in the day.

So my favorite meal would be this

This is 300g of slow cooked turkey breast
A salad made from baby spinach, rucola, tomatoes and onion
A little sweet chili sauce on the turkey
And a healthy amount of lime/koriander dressing on the salad
And of course a 50g protein shake on the side

Roughly 700kcal
105g protein
25g carbs
20g of fats
4-5g of dietary fiber

This meal is packed with essential micronutrients that support key functions in the body, why this is my favorite.
The leafy greens like baby spinach and rucola provide a strong dose of vitamin A, which supports healthy vision and immune function. They also contain vitamin K, important for blood clotting and bone health.

The tomatoes (espeically the peel) contribute vitamin C, which plays a role in immune support and acts as an antioxidant. The turkey breast adds several B vitamins – especially B6 and niacin – which are critical for energy metabolism and nervous system health.

You’ll also get a good amount of iron from both the turkey and the spinach, which supports red blood cell production and oxygen transport. Potassium is present in the tomatoes and greens, helping to regulate fluid balance, muscle function, and blood pressure.

If your dressing contains olive oil or yogurt, you’ll also get small amounts of magnesium and calcium – both important for muscle contraction, bone maintenance, and nerve function.

Lastly, the sweet chili sauce and dressing likely add some sodium, which is fine in moderation, especially around workouts – just be mindful if you’re watching your salt intake overall.
