Again, I am left somewhat perplexed as to why some of you spend so much time and effort attacking me and looking for dirt on me when all I am doing is peacefully posting valid information that could benefit you all. And before any moron posts back with a quote from one of my messages that is slightly less than stereotypically peaceful, I would advice you first to look at who initiated the tone-lowering of this thread. It certainly was not me. Quote:

I shouldn't have told you what to do, doctorSpoc. I pulled my post because it was rude.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the Report SPAM button is not just for commercial advertising posts: "Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts." Perhaps milk is essential for emotional stability. Last edited by garage sale GT : 31-05.-2007 at 05:20 AM. |

Anyway.......
I have a bit of a hard time with milk myself. I have not built the giant leg muscles of some cyclists despite riding a lot, so perhaps a big post-ride meal is not such a good idea. I am currently trying soy protein and a sugary pop in lieu of chocolate milk. I went ahead and sprang for the protein powder on the theory that too much post-exercise nutrition can be a stressor to the body. Maybe a small, lean piece of chicken would promote recovery but you can't always buy that without a lot of extras, anyplace you choose to stop. And a small-size burger and fries will involve slow-to-digest fat as well as excess sodium. Maybe someone can cite the chocolate milk study but I really think it's just about getting a snack involving a certain amount of protein and carbs.

Giant leg muscles wont help your endurance cycling. Cycling is not a strength sport. You know how much force you apply to the pedals? stand up. Cycling is cardio. |

but it doesn't really give you the answer you're looking for. It pretty much just says it works and has a good carb to protein ratio but doesn't define that ratio or try to explain why it works. I ran the OPs question by my wife who runs a nutrition counseling practice and holds an MSRD. Her answer was a lot like those above, get a lot of carbs, along with some protein during the critical half hour and again a couple of hours later. According to her the carb to protein ratio is debated and although a lot of folks advocate 4:1, there isn't a lot of good science backing up that particular number. But I do have to question the folks talking about protein powder and lean chicken. Whatever the ideal carb to protein ratio, it's clear that the carbs are the important part to replace depleted glycogen. Protein powder or meat won't do much for restoring the glycogen you've spent during a hard workout. Put that protein powder in a fruit smoothie maybe..... -Dave |

Yea, the idea of the protein is to get the carbs to absorb into the muscles. No need for protein powder. |

Rcinator- Sorry I didn't respond earlier I was busy studying the 1001 reason why I shouldn't drink Chocolate Milk, any way you've converted me, I've sold my bike and with the proceeds bought a bag of hemp seeds that I shall plant tomorrow, one question though, what would you recommend as fertiliser?

Part of the idea of the carbs is to trigger an insulin response which will shut off the cortisol and stop you from going catabolic. However, on days when you come in stinking of ammonia, you rarely want to have some lean beef and sphagetti. Protein powder just gives you a small glass of flavored liquid to drink along with your carb beverage. Last edited by garage sale GT : 31-05.-2007 at 09:42 AM. |
