Thanks, Elchanan.

 

I don't have the ability to make a smoothie after I work out. I have to go

straight to work. I have been bringing 3 bananas with me and eating those

right after I work out. I also drink about 1.5L of water during and

immediately after the workout and then another 3.0-4.5L throughout the day.

I can bring some oranges and eat them as well. I am concerned I am not

getting enough calories, but I haven't tracked it close enough to be sure.

 

Is eating the sweet fruit enough to ensure that my bodies is getting enough

amino acids to build and grow the muscles that I am working?
