Chocolate milk is one of the best post workout drinks u can take. It has a good mix of simple carbs/protein and fat. Nothing wrong with drinking choc milk then eating ur meal...in fact, a lot of trainers recommend it.

be my guest and have 4 glasses of choclate milk post workout instead of eating a healthy meal

Who cares what alot of "trainers" recommend [pic]. Ive heard trainers tell people post workout to eat a muscle milk bar [pic]



Its not that legit. Maybe you need to learn more about nutrtion. Choclate milk is not good for you. Just because something has carbs and protein does not mean it is good for you. If you come home and have a blaanced meal with a glass of water it will be 1000x Greater than drinking some !!ing choclate milk postworkout dip!!. I mean your asking how much choclate milk you should have post workout. But hey if you enjoy adding n@sty generic chemicals to your body be my guest and have 4 glasses of choclate milk post workout instead of eating a healthy meal [pic].

Post-Workout Drinks

When it's time to choose a liquid chug after a long, tough workout, there's a slew of options out there. Water? Gatorade, POWERade, or All Sport? Endurox R4? Physiologist Joel Stager, director of the Human Performance laboratory at Indiana University, has even one more potential workout recovery drink to add to the list: chocolate milk. His latest study, published in this month's International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, names this kids' favorite an optimal post-exercise recovery aid.

Before your stomach recoils, take a look at chocolate milk's ingredient list. For a high-endurance athlete, Stager's team sees it as a catch-all workout recovery drink. Compared to plain milk, water, or most sports drinks, it has double the carbohydrate and protein content, perfect for replenishing tired muscles. Its high water content replaces fluids lost as sweat, preventing dehydration. Plus it packs a nutritional bonus of calcium, and includes just a little sodium and sugar -- additives*that help recovering athletes retain water and regain energy.*

Drinking plain water after exercise replaces sweat losses -- and that's it. "Chocolate milk provides carbohydrate replenishment to your muscles -- something they can metabolize," said Jason Karp, MS, another researcher for this study. "There's nothing to metabolize in water."*

Stager's[..]essment of chocolate milk is even simpler. "It's water plus a whole lot more," he said.

The Case for Carbs

Ready to switch your bottled water for chocolate milk?[..]ess your workout level first. Downing a post-workout beverage chock-full of carbohydrates isn't just for the weekend tennis player, said Stager -- and that's key. A drink like chocolate milk is most useful to a cyclist, swimmer, or long-distance runner. These sports stress high endurance levels and constant, sustained movement. Competing athletes need high levels of calories, carbs, and protein to sustain that level of performance.

Stager tested out chocolate milk's performance as a workout recovery drink on nine cyclists. In his lab, each athlete biked until exhaustion, and then rested for four hours. During this break, each consumed low-fat chocolate milk, Gatorade, or the high-carbohydrate sports drink Endurox R4. Afterward, they cycled to exhaustion again.

The results were positive. His research team concluded that the athletes who consumed chocolate milk performed just as well or better as those who drank the other beverages. The high carb and protein content in milk make it an incredibly effective recovery drink, Stager said -- even though it's never been marketed as one.

YOu can google "is coconut oil bad for you" and get hits, doesnt make it true.

and milk is bad for u

[pic] @ conspricay theories pasturized milk is horrible for you.

you are clueless no wonder uve attacked me with such spite.



its a fact not a theory that raw milk is better for u but go with what they push in magazines.





Keep listening to those trainers though.

Your guy in the 2nd video says milk's bad because most cows carry disease and are injected with grow hormones. So wouldn't raw unpasteurized milk be the worst kind of milk to drink?? We pasteurize our milk for THAT very reason u rehtard.

sigh. U do know organic raw milk comes from grass feed cows that are given no hgh. Look up the history and see health related issues rise. All the nutrients from milk are gone. Keep listening to the fda.

Reg pasturized milk is horrible for u. I said eat a balanced meal........with water its all u need.

Damn no milk, no protein supps... what are your lifting stats looking like?

About 300 reps of picking up and swiping people's membership cards at the front desk of his local gym.

Wow yall really think protein shakes will help u lift more than real food? Come on bigs stop reading muscle and fitness. You do not need any of that if u have a good diet stay away from msg. Look it up if you don't believe me. It's horrible for u and I haven't even mentioned the suraclose or the fact its from sick grain fed cows.
