The original article was published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Excercise Metabolism. Two things to bear in mind, the study was VERY small - only 9 subjects; and it was sponsored by the Dairy and Nutrition Council. The small sample means you really can't say with certainty that chocolate milk is a good recovery aid and the fact that it was supported by the Dairy and Nutrition Council raises questions of conflict of interest. But what the heck, the stuff tastes good and it's readily available (and I happen to like chocolate milk ) so I think I'll just keep drinking it.

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.

Protien is WAY over consumed is all im saying. Consuming the powder drinks is just adding the over kill.

After this, your glycogen uptake is much slower. Hope this helps. Greg

I have to get my nutrition strategy just right. Everyone always said I was a little slow on the uptake.

Too much protein is way better than not enough in my book.

(Within reason of course)

True, but the requirements are so easily met. I have a harder time consuming quality carbohydrates and fats, protein is a gimme. Extra protein = extra calorie's.A few years ago when I consulted a sports nutritionist, first thing he said was I was consuming to much protein. All I need is 90 grams a day, very easy to meet. Most people require under 100 grams per day. Of course a body builder would need more, and cyclist dont need much more the a couch potato.

You hate the truth so much you are too quick in looking for a category and a pigeonhole to encage me in just to satisfy your eagerness to avoid information that you are uncomfortable with.

If you are so eager to fight me, then why not take apart the information and facts I have posted here? Why attack me, the messenger, instead of revealing errors in what I have written?

You are pathetic. What I have posted is valuable information that is lost on you, and some of the others here, because you are destined to live as idiots and sheep.

As a general rule, you catch more ants with honey than with vinegar, mate.

In comparison, all I've seen you do since someone dared disagree with your posts is drip acid and vitriol. So I can only conclude that you are less interested in genuinely recruiting people to your cause than you are in making yourself feel smug and superior by making other people wrong. Either that or you're utterly clueless about the psychology of persuasion. Or both.

Well, I hope it works for you, because all I see is a man (or woman) who is likely borderline mentally ill, suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, very poor self-esteem and "little person" syndrome.

You need to start taking your medication again.
