Hydrate first!

 After hard workouts you need to replenish those energy stores BUT make sure to hydrate first before you have that post workout meal. First and foremost you are dehydrated from your intense workout so feed the system the hydration first THEN! Your post workout meal with complex carbs and protein to fill energy stores for tomorrow! This will also prevent overeating which is most commonly done especially after a hard workout ie: eating when in fact your thirsty!
