Most Americans get more protein than they need already. Any discussion of
nutrition and exercise needs to take into account the stated goals of the
individual. There was nothing in the original post to indicate that she
was looking to work out at an intensity that would require additional
protein in her diet. Athletes training at the Olympic level obviously
have far different needs than the typical cyclist.

But like LBTC said - everybody is different and Jo would probably best be served by experimenting. Thom likes to have Endurox after a longer ride. I can't stand the stuff. I drink Gatorade while riding, it gives him stomach trouble. We're all individuals. (Someone needs to stand up and shout...)
