I am looking for a suggestions on nutritional suppliments after my workouts. High carbo, High protein? I swim in the morning 3 days/wk, weights 2 days/wk. I eat a whole grain cereal before my workout. Does anyone suggest one of those protein or cabo drinks that are highly advertised, I never trust those adds. I was thinking some sort of protein supplement, but I don't need to bulk up my muscles, as I am a swimmer not a muscle head. I just want some sort of muscle recovery supplement. I go straight to work after my workouts, so I need something "on the go".
Any suggestions?

I have been eating a granola bar 1/2 hour before practice and drinking approx. 4 oz. of Gatorade every 20 minutes during practice. I buy the Gatorade powder so it is pretty cheap to use. This program has really helped my energy level during practice. (and theoretically provides energy to the body without breaking down muscle mass)
I follow the same routine on weight lifting days.
