Salad after playing basketball for 3-4 hrs bad or good?

i always heard to eat protein after a workout. but all i did was play basketball which is more cardio cuz we were playing full court and i ran up and down a LOT! didnt lift any weights. i just ate one ceaser salad w/ lil dressing and croutons. not on a diet but i do have a little tummy i just want to have a 6pack or at least some definition of abs. i was thinking maybe a bowl of caeser salad %26amp; 1 hot dog? would that b good for recovering from playin bball for 3-4 hrs? and why?Salad after playing basketball for 3-4 hrs bad or good?
you don't have to eat protein specifically after a workout. as long as you eat enough so that you don't feel like you'll pass out. hot dogs are really unhealthy with all their fillers, you'd be better off with a lean cut of meat e.g. steak, chicken breast, etc.Salad after playing basketball for 3-4 hrs bad or good?
no hot dog, how about an apple and a banana insteadSalad after playing basketball for 3-4 hrs bad or good?
