Brown rice with chicken: If you tend to exercise after lunch or dinner, avoid rich foods and have a simple dish of brown rice with chicken or tofu. It's a bland meal that sits well and provides a good amount of carbs and protein, says Meine.
Eating After Your Workout. Eating after exercise is important as well. Your muscles need the raw materials to recuperate after a heavy workout, such as carbs, protein, and electrolytes including potassium and sodium. A light meal or snack within two hours after exercise is perfect.
