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 don't care if its all in the mind or just a fad or whatever...I just bought me 7 bottles of accelerade and will probably be back to buy more to finish up the season with.
I am hypoglycemic and in my experience and spoonful of sugar only does so much...it's better to be fueling the body throughout a meet with good foods and electrolyte drinks instead of being force fed sugar tablets when your passed out on the pool deck.
and maybe it is all in my head, but, I like thinking that what im eating/ drinking on the deck during a meet is gonna help me swim my best...so even if its all mental its still helping...seeing how swimming is 90%mental.
