Maybe I'm mistaken, but I read this to mean that the 15g of protein and 70g of carbs are for recovery purposes (to replenish the muscles), not a daily allowance/need. Also, remember, those numbers came from big guys. The requirements are based on weight/size, so most of us women need far less (so, don't worry mimitabby, I don't think you'd need to drink 27oz of oj!).

In my opinion, this explains the perplexing problem of some who find they gain weight when exercising . . . they are eating way to much in the mistaken belief that they think they need all that to "recover."

Also, it also supports the fact the bars, shakes, etc. are just high-priced ways of getting that which one can get from real food/drink. Obviously, there is the convenience factor, but they are not necessary and aren't proven to enhance performance any more than the real deal.

Just my first thoughts . . .

P.S. 2 oz. of chicken is certainly not an entire chicken breast. It's really not that much (it's less than one of those mini cans of tuna).
