Post Sweat Potassium Magnesium Meal
A post sweat potassium magnesium meal refuels with produce, legumes, starch, and salted fluids—replacing minerals lost in heavy sweat, not water alone.
A post sweat potassium magnesium meal lands within two hours of heavy sessions—potato or beans, leafy greens, fruit, and salted fluids replacing potassium and magnesium lost with sodium in sweat. Water alone dilutes sodium when losses are large; food plus sensible salt beats sugar-heavy drinks for many goals.
Scale starch to next-day training.
Common questions
-
Can an electrolyte drink replace this meal?
Drinks help sodium fast; whole meals still deliver potassium, magnesium, and protein together. Use drinks as a bridge when appetite is low, then eat within two hours.
