                                According to a study published in the *International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism*, fast food can be as effective as traditional sports supplements for post-workout glycogen recovery. So, what happens if I eat a burger after a workout? The answer is more complex than a simple 'good' or 'bad,' and depends heavily on timing, context, and the burger's composition.
