Probably why I always have leg pain unless I rest for 2 days
after a hard ride.

I will try it next week end, will get a bucket of protein
powder and eat(drink) that after I am back home. 25 Grams is
not that much when using powder. Not sure it's as good as a
real meal like tuna, milk or anything high in protein
though.... I always wonder about the ability of the body to
metabolize those food supplements.
