Try and chill out after you train, or if you got a nap in after you exercise that would be the ultimate best!
Don’t wreck your hard work in the gym by bingeing on high-sugar processed foods to “comfort” yourself when you feel stressed. Instead, turn to proven mood-boosters like super dark chocolate, coffee (be cautious with the caffeine), or an omega-3-packed meal like salmon.
