Tip of the Week

You only have to eat 200-300 calories, depending on your size, but it should be a mix of carbs and proteins, about 3:1 carbs. There are a number of sports drinks and bars that are either designed for this purpose, or will do (check the label for ingredient mix). What if you don`t have anything like that at hand? I thought I`d pass along a good idea from Christopher Mohr writing in Training & Conditioning: a glass of chocolate milk works just fine. He also recommends low fat yogurt, which I have been recommending too. Of course, if you`re going to eat lunch soon after your workout as I often do, that`s good enough.
