How many carbs should I have after a workout?

Carbs After Workout

Following a workout, within one hour, intaking between 50-150g of quality carbohydrates will help in replenishing your muscles. This is because the body is more metabolically active right after a workout and therefore can utilize more nutrients than in a resting state.
