Post-workout snacks aren't just for muscle gains; they help with weight loss, too!
If we follow that logic alone, it would make sense to eat less in general, including after workouts. But besides making you hungry, grumpy, and just plain uncomfortable , skipping your post-workout snack can actually work against your weight-loss goals, said registered dietitian Michele Fumagalli, LDN, from the Northwestern Running Medicine Clinic.Yes, you should try to eat within at least two hours of a workout if you're trying to lose weight, Michele told POPSUGAR.
They make you hungry, and trying to wait out that hunger will just make it more intense and make you more likely to overeat later. Think of your hunger like a gas tank, Michele said. If you get below a quarter of a tank and start to inch toward empty,"we can get 'hangry.' We can overeat, and we make more unhealthy food choices." The hungrier you are, she explained, the less likely you are to be satisfied by healthier, more nourishing food.
