What do you eat/drink, post work out (esp. a tough one) to help with muscle recovery. I've taken on a pretty aggressive training plan, and I was wondering, specifically, what recovery foods/drinks have worked for everyone else. Thanks:)

My fav is always an ice-cold glass of chocolate milk right away, followed by more carbs and protein

Haven't we done this before? I feel like the thread had almost exactly the same title too... Ok, maybe not, but might be best to check out these first before we take this thread any farther. If one of those threads doesn't answer the question, then come back and ask here.

Don't mind the question, but I fear this forum is getting a little cluttered with lots of people asking the same question over and over again. I got these threads simply by searching for 'post-workout'.

Which makes me wonder about the tagging here. Are we at a point where we can develop a tag list so we can find tagged posts? (sorry for the hijack)

I often have Fat free Choco milk, Fat Free cottage cheese with fruit bits, some nuts, and sometimes low fat cold cuts.

To tri or not to tri - that's not a question at all!

well... since we're threadjacking, i'd say... what's the point in a tag-list if the search works well? The thread is about "post-workout nutrition".... if you search for that in the search box, this is what you get. I'd say that's a pretty good return and most of the sites are relevant.

It doesn't though. I use it with mixed results. I can't site a specific example because it's early but I can bring attention to it next time.

You are a stronger man than I.
I can do the 1% but once it says Fat Free, I no longer consider it cheese. :-)

On the tags - the point is that just by looking at the cloud or list, you'd already see the item of interest - you wouldn't even have to go through that step of thinking to look it up. It would just be there, flashing away at you, begging to get clicked and share all the older links...

On the cottage cheese - actually, you're right - the fruit ones are 1%... I do occasionally buy the fat free one without fruit and mix it in. I think once I decided the stuff was a good thing to eat I got adjusted to not thinking about what it tastes like...

On the tag/search issue... I can definitely see what you are saying... I think I will post a new thread in the main board to talk about this, no?
