Post Workout Protein

[[old] Carl Henrik]

After AT and VO2 Max leveled sessions I take only fast proteins. The days after a such I do a slow row with prots <b>and</b> carbs. I also do intermediately paced distance this is followed by prots and carbs. <br /><br />I've heard from various sources that solely proteins can be good* so I am giving it a try.<br /><br />*edited from "could", that almost sounds the same anyway

Taking in protein directly after a workout will only slow recovery time. I'd stick with something fast absorbing, such as a dry cereal, a banana, gatorade, and water. There isn't enough muscular tearing to justify taking in that much protein.

Those in search of a lower sodium jerky product should try <a href='http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_deta ... 0509986470' target='_blank'>Buffalo Pemmican</a>. If your past experiences with jerky left you with sore jaw muscles while searching for a lake to drink, you will find this product a pleasant surprise. <br /><br />Very tasty, very tender and lower sodium than any other jerky product I've come across.<br /><br />Self promotingly,<br />Mark<br />(your friendly neighbourhood buffalo rancher)

On the other hand I have not seen it properly disproved and I'm experienced enough to do some kind of evaluation from an experiment on myself, which I think is fun. Sticking to what you do is just fine, unless you are trying to gain muscles since then you need to eat proteins also and after workout is a good time to take them. For me the proteins serve an extra purpose in my strength training after intervalls (different muscles).

What are people's opinions of energy bars, like a powerbar for example. I'd love to be able to rely on the engineering that goes into something like a powerbar to give me the right post workout nutrition.<br /><br />-- Jeff.

A great suggestion for protein is tuna. I know that you shouldnt eat too much tuna due to mercury but i eat a can of tuna after every land training/practice. Any type of fish is high in protein. I also suggest a bannana after training.<br /><br />Eddie
