Eggs

If you're not into eating artificial protein such as Whey. There's a delicious alternative you can eat to get your protein intake after a workout. An egg! While some people have their likes and dislikes about eggs, they are packed with protein and are very good for you! The best part about eggs is there are so many ways in which you can eat them. You can enjoy eggs hard boiled, scrambled, poached, or even sunny side up!

You can also enjoy eggs with a variety of sides! Some people like to eat their eggs with avocados which contain a great source of fat your body craves after a workout. Another side such as bread is a perfect way to fuel your body with carbs. You can also complement your bread with any type of spread. Some favorites are butter, jelly, peanut butter, and almond butter.
