Post workout meal

I read another article, only this time it was about post workout meals.

Here's an excerpt of it that applied to my goals:

"If your primary goal is fat loss, you'll want to take a different approach, says Coleman, because a high-carb postworkout meal blunts the fat-burning effect.  She instaed recommends choosing protein and fibrous veggies and suggests waiting to eat for at least an hour or two after exercise."

This will be difficult after high calorie burning workouts such as swimming or running because I tend to feel "hungry" shortly after this activity.  I'll try to keep water stocked so I can chug that afterwards to keep the hunger pangs.
