Whassup wit' Rego?
Causes your eyes to roll into the back of your head by the looks of things.
[quote=Stevet1 ]whats the fastet food in the world?
Milk - cos its pasteurised...
I'd be happy if it came up to my chest.....
So what chocolate milk is recommended? I'm quite partial to nesquik. How do you make your own Mrblobby?
Mines currently,
Pint of skimmed milk,
2-3teaspoons of peanut butter
and a homemade flapjack! Less sugar a crap than shop bought and can fill with extra protein if you want or seeds,nuts,fruit etc
Whassup wit' Rego?
My stomach has bad memories of the stuff and it tastes like an amalgam of chalk dust and wallpaper paste imho etc. If I had to use a commercial recovery product it'd be the Torq Recovery stuff, but given that chocolate milk is cheaper, tastes a lot nicer and works pretty much as well, it seems like a no-brainer…
So much of the 'sports nutrition' industry seems to be about catering to people's misconception that if they eat something branded and expensive and packed full of hype they'll be fitter or faster or be able to put in colossal efforts without aching afterwards etc. Mostly, most of us average, normal sort of people, just need to eat healthy real food, get fitter and understand a few basic nutritional principles.
But Rego… 😯
Oh, and check out the Feedzone cook book and Feedzone Portables book for some alternatives to the mass-produced chemico gunk if you're interested maybe.
Pint of semi skimmed and a banana. Followed by spag bol for tea. Then a few pints of ale if it's a weekend.......or maybe a Thursday . 😉
L Glutamine powder takes the edge off for me, slightly less knackered than I would be otherwise. I have only really started using this in my mid/late 4o's. My eldest has just got himself a proper job in the far flung northeast and left all his myprotein stuff here. I've tried it after a few hard rides recently and again it does seem to help.
Not sure I fancy the huge wads of sugar in chocco milk
A large bottle of leffe and some peanuts for me 😀
Is there a Greggs between your gym and the office?
Sometimes I whizz up some milk, nuts and honey with the food processor. I have no scientific evidence to validate this recipe, however.

REGO isn't the nicest, granted, but it is pretty effective.
Try out OTE if you don't get on with REGO, tastes much better and in my experience, works better too. They also do a Soya protein option as well as the Whey...
eating gravy granules to "thickening it up" a bit!
Bladder, would you not have just gone with some plain old corn starch? Cheaper and just as effective... kinda like chocolate milk and a banana really.
What post excercise protein shake / fill you up stuff?
Anyway, I think the overall answer to this in pre-work terms is probably one word: 'porridge', maybe with added nuts and raisins. If you must consume sports nutrition goop, there's a Team Sky 'high protein porridge' which basically seems to be normal porridge with added whey protein, so I guess you could add that as well.
On the recovery front, seriously, you could just have a chicken roll or bagel or whatever, it's mostly about a mix of carbohydrate with the addition of protein which helps you absorb the carbohydrate quicker, allegedly. Given that sports nutrition science is the universe's most fluid substance and subject to 180? u-turns at any moment.
My neighbour is a club cyclist and has an extremely fit GF who does Ironman and all that stuff. She eats almost nothing but does neck about 35 pints a week of dried milk, presumably for the protein. Gotta be cheaper than buying fancy whey protein? She's a vet so she must know a bit about nutrition and all that caper.
