After Giving Blood?

[2-Swole]

TweetI am giving blood this week at work. After giving blood..should I do anything different as far as my eating, supps, and training for the day? Do you loose valuable stuff in the blood and need to replenish more or anything like that..never thought of it before???

TweetQWhen I gave in the past it was many hours before I would lift- never had a problem, but I ate 2-3 meals before lifting so I can't honesty say if you plan on doing it directly afterwards

TweetI give blood about 4 times a yr and I dont work out on that day. Dont know why, I just dont. Dont drink after as well cause it made me a lil loopy on occasion.

Id prolly get a couple good meals if I were to work out that evening personally...

TweetThanks guys..so basically throw in an extra meal or two?

I am going on a cardio day so just have to go do about 15 minutes at the gym afterwards

Anything else?

TweetUsually after you give blood, they give you a package of cookies or something. I think you'll be fine unless you have had problems before. Ask the people that are drawing the blood as they usually know.

Tweet^^^ hahaha just wondering because I dont am on a very strict macro diet and am taking in certain amounts of p/f/c and supplementing. So If I was gunna loose nutrients in the blood I wanted to know what I needed to do. I will add some protein or something after giving blood I guess and then go hit the cardio.
