That doesn't provide much energy or does it?

Oh, after exercises I drink much water, or lemonade, and I eat many fruits, specially the fruits of the season.

I eat many fruits in order to supplement the minerals losses during the exercises, and later I eat some rice and beans, or lunches.

I know its "junky", but I love hot dog with diet coke

Fruit juices...much fruit juices to recover the mineral salts lost during the physical activities.

I eat a lot of egg white. It contains protein. Protein provides the amino acids necessary to rebuild muscle tissue that is damaged during intense, prolonged exercise. It can also increase the absorption of water from the intestines and improve muscle hydration.

Rest and eat fruits to prepare yourself for the next day.

After exercises your body needs to replace minerals, so you should eat fruits or drink fruit juices.
