Quotes to ponder:
"While the post-workout meal is important, it’s not the be-all and end-all for your fitness goals."
"Think of the post-workout meal as an opportunity to replenish what you’ve used and support recovery, not as a race against the clock."
"Focus on eating whole, minimally processed foods that you can digest well and that make you feel good long-term."
