Nutrition on the road - What, How and Why?

cheers

Yes,
have a look at pictures of BALCO customer Barry Bonds as he ages.
Son of a very good baseball player, he exceeded his raised expectations through his 20s
and into his 30s then changed shape and had unbelievable early 40s.
Then he was caught in the BALCO investigation and the rumours of PEDS were confirmed.

I might smell of milk but at least I don't have to use a government controlled copy of IE6. Yeah, China, in your face!

In the meantime here's some discussion about the 'post exercise recovery window'.

You lost me at phytates but I shall read-up. That is interesting.

Christ, that's a lot to take in. Are there any easy-to-digest facts one can take away from it?

1. nutrition is a complex topic.
   
2. you get out what you put in.

Mr. Hippy,

Behind my quip there is a story. Like most English kids growing up in the 1970s I ingested a lot of milk being told it was beneficial to health etc.. in fact they used to give the stuff away free in school in little glass bottles! (do they still?).

Anyway about 10-15 years ago I started to feel bloated all the time and...leaving behind mucous with my deposits...

As it happened I mentioned this to a colleague at work back then who immediately said he had suffered the same thing and that it was a milk problem. So right away I stopped drinking cow's milk and switched to altenatives (soya, coconut) and the symptoms vanished.
However...I noticed recently that my local mini-mart stocks Yazoo chocolate milk, so just like Mr. Greenback here I thought "hmm post recovery drink?" and after consuming about a dozen bottles of it (not all at once) the 'stuff' started to reappear...

So that's it no more milk for me full stop.

do they still?

Maggie Thatcher stole mine.

More anecdata:-

My nephew's asthma and eczema got a lot better when he switched from normal dairy milk to "organic" dairy milk.

Other friends swear by the lactose free dairy milk that most supermarkets sell: e.g. http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/lactofree-semi-skimmed-dairy-drink-1l

My point is there may not be a need to ditch dairy milk completely.

I don't care. Iced Coffee is the greatest thing EVAH!

True Mr. Greenbank,

However i can only relate to my own experience with the stuff and my body is saying "non"

I guess we are all different aren't we?

Believe it or not but chocolate flavoured milk is recommended by some sources as a post recovery drink.

Chocolate milk is a poor mans protein shake. Probably less than ideal fat content. But in terms of carbs and protein levels. You could argue its better for a cyclist than a whey protein shake.

I often grab one at the end of a ride.

I also just really like drinking chocolate milk.

There have been multiple research projects, all of which have been peer reviewed, that clearly show chocolate milk is as effective as purpose made recovery products in aiding recovery after exercise.

There's a fucking study for every what way!

Need a study to understand which studies to listen too. Bet there's one for that too.

there are, they are called meta-analysis studies

Systematic Cochrane reviews or GTFO

Your a Cochrane

I just had a recovery smoothie straight away when I got in the door.
Was my training pointless?

Maybe tomorrow I'll not go training and just have the recovery shake. Sounds better.
