The fitness coach shared that even a combination of complex carbohydrates and fats, such as his 'favourite' avocado toast, isn't ideal for post-workout nutrition. Furthermore, Siddhartha added that seemingly healthy fruit juice, lacking protein and amino acids, can lead to muscle recovery failure.
Fast food
Speaking of 'the three worst foods you can eat after your workout', he said, “The first type of food is fast food. Just because you did a workout does not mean you can eat your burgers, fries, and pizza. These are high in fats and refined carbs, which will slow down digestion and delay protein absorption.”

Even though carbohydrates post-workout are great, but if you're not adding in protein with your carbohydrates, you're just setting yourself up for failure. Your muscles need amino acids post your workout and juice has none.”

See, we do not need fats immediately after a workout. We need carbohydrates and protein. So stay away from the avocado toast, especially after your workout.”
