How to eat healthier after workouts?!
I'm not a bad eater but I would like to eat a bit healthier. It's so hard finding fast food places or food joints that have good food to eat after workouts. It's also difficult financially (don't have enough money to spend on a $6 meal everyday, after workouts). I usually go to a local smoothie shop (known for their healthy, raw, organic ingredients + fat burner) and have that after I work out. Subway has their $5 foot long (in which I order the black forest ham) but still seems too much.
I was thinking of just going grocery shopping myself - oatmeal and omelets (morning) and for small lunch/dinner or small meals/snacks in between or post workout, I could:
- cook steamed vegetables
- teriyaki chicken? (healthy?)
- grilled chicken patties (i can cook at home)
- grilled fish patties
- wheat bread, with ham, light mayo, light honey mustard and cut them in bite size pieces for snacks
- salad w. light honey mustard sauce
- green tea + water
- wheat quesadilla wraps + grilled chicken pieces + little bit of cheese
- sushi?
what else are healthy, cheap alternatives (instead of ordering takeout)?

If you think a beef slaghterhouse is nasty, check out the whole chicken industry, yech! For the most part if you prepare food at home and use fresh ingredients it will be better for you and way cheaper than fast food.
