carb snacks

Hi GI food immediatly after a game?? A ~500 ml of Chocolate milk. I always wondered if it was ok since after my morning workouts it was something i strangely had a craving for. Then one of the guys on our team last year was randomly explaining how some high endurance cyclists and triathletes swear by it for post work out energy/recovery drink. I figured my body knew what it wanted so I give in to that now after the BIG workouts and multi game days.
Follow it wih Egg salad sandwich on wheat and a bannana. Then moderate/good amounts of water till the next game. I suppose beans and tuna would be even more protien than the egg salad, but theres some good game day fat in the egg.

B Tuck is right.

You need to educate yourself.
Don't buy into the quick fix supplements. Thats an Ad campaign.
Supplements have their place of course.
But they don't replace food or knowledge.
Plus they cost lots of $$$$'s

Go the education path


Tuck,
Beans have stuff all protien.
Eggs have more but you'll need to eat at least 5-6 whites to even come close to useful amounts.
Most breads stink as a carb too btw.
Sorry to bust that bubble.

i thought i would consult an actual nutrtionist so i could sound as smart as the rest of ya, and much to my disgust (and Atapene's pleasure) beans and tuna on toast is top notch (but you could add some high GI sugars to help quicken the recovery). (eg banana, cereal bar, lollies (yay), creamed rice (maybe not actually with the beans).

Choc milk after a session good but you would need more carbs with it because it wouldnt be enough to replace full glycogen levels.

ideally after training you should be having:
1- 1.5 gram of carbs to 1kg of body weight asap.
