Sarah Bowmar, ISSA-certified personal trainer and owner of Bowmar Nutrition, makes sure to pack in the protein after her strength-training workouts. "Eating a high-protein meal after a workout will begin to repair the muscle fibres broken down during your lift and give you optimal results," Bowmar told POPSUGAR. She most often reaches for a protein shake or eggs — hard-boiled eggs, specifically, are the perfect on-the-go snack, whether you work out before breakfast or in the afternoon or evening.
