A: Your goal is to refill energy stores and support muscle repair:

• Carbs + protein in the first 30–60 minutes (even if you don’t feel hungry)
• Then a proper meal later

Simple ideas:

• Recovery shake + banana
• Rice/pasta/potatoes with a protein source
• Yoghurt + granola + fruit
• A KMC bar plus a protein snack if you can’t face a big meal yet

Also: keep sipping fluids and electrolytes after finishing — you’ll often still be playing catch-up on hydration.
