tuna sandwich post workout good enough?

[Itsthatasianguy]

so today i only had time to fix up a tuna sandwich with some rocket salad mix as a post workout meal 1 hour or so after my shake l as i ran out of rice and potatos.

macros are:
28 grams of protein ( 15.7 from tuna and like 12 from the whole grain bread)
62 grams of carbs (from the bread)
5 grams of fat

it fits into my daily macros as well.

was that good enough ?

p.s
shake was 40 protein 50 carbs (too high on protein i know, will adjust)

This means nothing outside the context of your diet as a whole. Maybe it's fine, maybe it's adding nothing - depends on your other meals.

With that meal I have hit all my macro goals for the day with only a bit over on protein.

Wouldn't eat tuna every day due to mercury content; could switch to salmon, sardines, herring, or mackerel.

Depends really.

My preworkout emdulganxe was always whey in the blender with oats tab!espoon of all natural PB and milk. Always provided for amazing energy through out

If it fits within everything else.........

I've been doing a couple of peanut butter sandwiches and a tuna sandwich when I get back in from the gym on wholewheat bread... keeps me happy as a quick fix rather than waiting on rice... I've also added 1L of milk into the mix and 3 or 4 bananas too... solid quick and easy feed...

If you include carbohydrates post workout, aim for higher glycemic carbohydrates such as dextrose.

Honestly, the post workout meal thing may not even matter much https://jissn.biomedcentral.com/arti...1550-2783-10-5

If you already had 40 grams protein after your workout you really don't need more protein 1 hour later.

If you include carbohydrates post workout, aim for higher glycemic carbohydrates such as dextrose.

Carbs post workout aren't necessary.

FYI: You're massively overthinking this OP.
