Is anyone able to suggest a good shake or energy product that can be consumed post ride to stave off the munchies?
I've started to ride to work recently and found that upon returning home I have an overwhelming urge to raid the fridge and load up on calories, which defeats the object as I'm trying to shed weight.
All the best.
GoodnesShakes Choccy or Vanilla Bean.
end of thread.
1 hour after excersize is the golden window. eat what you like
Home made milk shakes are good. Banana, honey, yoghurt - even cocoa powder.
I also like the Torq recovery drinks - particularly the Chocolate Orange - as they are easier to take along to rides and consume within that important 20-minute window.
Torq recovery drink, choc orange. I think it does a great job ! 😀
torq products rock!
Used torq recovery drink on lejog.First class product!!!
Scrambled eggs on toast
or cheapie Asda 'Breaktime' shakes - they apparently have the right stuff in the right amounts in them
use a frijj chocolate fudge brownie shake, and magic window is 20 minutes after exercise. Refuel as much then on crap as your body will continue burning it
Milk! Casein, whey, electrolytes and water
Someimes a chicken sarnie or tuna sarnie and milk. Sometimes a Protein skake
I use the frijj milkshakes too, dunno if it makes a difference but I like them anyway. Milk would serve the same purpose.
Piece in one of the Triathlon mags that milk is really good for post workout.
Yazoo choc milkshake.
Refuel as much then on crap as your body will continue burning it
assuming you believe in magic windows etc, how much can you eat ?
