  • After a work out, you will want to eat some easily digestible protein and carbohydrates. This would be whey protein and simple sugars like dextrose. Your muscles are most receptive to nutrients after a work out, for up to an hour, so the quicker protein and carbohydrates are digested, the better. Protein helps with repairing and growing muscle tissue, while the carbohydrates replace the muscle glycogen stores.
  • You should eat foods that have protein. I personally make my own protein shake, it includes 2 cups of milk, 1 banana, 2 scoops of peanut butter, 1 raw egg, and a drop of honey for taste. It may sound nasty but its the best tasting thing. You blend all the ingedients together. You will end up getting about 40-45grams of natural protein.
  • Specifically, post-workout nutrition for a weight lifting or bodybuilding diet should contain about 0.25 grams of protein per pound of your bodyweight. Your post-workout carbohydrate intake should be about 0.25-0.50 grams per pound of bodyweight (depending if/how much your diet is carb-restricted). Fat consumption is not required, but it's also not restricted; there is the myth that post workout fat intake will kill your gains because it slows the absorption of protein. However, this is unfounded hearsay, and any negative effects are negligible in the worst case scenario. The post workout meal can be consumed in the form of a shake or a solid meal. Shakes are often preferable because they're convenient; in addition, they are generally easier to consume if you are not hungry after a workout, or if you have any nausea (somewhat common after very intense lifting sessions).

What do scientists eat when working and travelling in Antarctica?

Foodstuffs are imported by each government that supports a research station. Scientists eat whatever the government has imported, either in cafeterias or in field camps, depending on where they are working. Usually scientists eat food while living in Antarctica, brought in by supply ships and cooked by chefs, all in support of science. Varies with their native countries. All nations have had or have expeditions there so they eat similar things that they do at home.
