Recovery Food and Drink?

[LBTC]

My favourite has always been a potato with protein and veggies. I would just nuke a potato, add cubes of ham, chopped mushrooms and peppers (I kept these ready in the fridge) and grated cheese. I'd feel the hunger vanish, and my muscles would be nice and happy the next day.

I think everyone has a different perfect recovery food, but the sooner the better is definitely a key!

Happy recovering....

i always prepare something before i go out-consume like its a religion upon entering the house!

also,i find after a training session if i dont get grub down me before i start to respond to work phone calls i can be a little bad tempered/short with customers (eek) i even hide from people for a bit until ive sorted myself out.they do say too we are at greater risk of infection straight after a workout,when we are tired.

the lasds swear by recovery drinks,but i think that there is nothing wrong with a tin of tuna-100g supplies 30g of protein which is a good dose.,i swear by milk,infact my body positively craves it,but abhore anything chololatey.

Love Chocolate Milk after a ride. Milo is yummy too.

I really love Silk chocolate soy milk. It comes in individual cartons, which don't need to be refrigerated, making it perfect for out of town rides.

In N Out cheesburger, well-done fries, and a Diet Coke.

But only if the ride is more than 60 miles
