Cottage cheese
Curd is an essential source of protein and calcium. Cottage cheese is especially good for men who are involved in lifting weights and building muscle mass, since the protein from this product is absorbed slowly, gradually providing the body with protein for a long time.

In addition to being an excellent source of protein, beef is also a source of iron, which delivers oxygen to various cells in the body. Men should not underestimate the presence of iron in their diet, especially if they work hard physically or go to the gym regularly.
Dates
It would be nice to include dates in the list of those foods that you eat after exercise. Dates are a high glycemic food (they just contain a lot of carbohydrates). This means that eating dates will promote faster protein absorption by muscle cells.
Most men use a fruit such as a banana after exercise, but its glycemic level is 56, while dates are 103. This makes dates a more attractive product. Remember, too, that a high glycemic product is only consumed in the post-workout meal, and the rest of the time is consumed with low glycemic foods (vegetables, fish, meat, unsweetened dairy products).
So, next time you go to the store, do not forget to put these products in your basket. Let them take the place in your diet that used to belong to sausages, smoked meats, pizza and fries.
