Everywhere I turn I keep hearing about how good it is to eat some fig newtons right after the workout for their supposedly providing you with the essential things you need.I looked at the nutrition facts, though and it does not look that impressive for fig newtons on there, hardly any protein, not many vitamins, just a good amount of carbs, that's about it.So what is their "magic power?"

If you don't want to spring for something like "Endurox", then a bagel with a modest amount of lo-fat cream cheese has a pretty good complex carb/protein ratio for recovery. Be sure to get it into you as soon as you can after the workout.
Look on Amazon.com or wherever for books by the late Ed(mund) Burke on muscle recovery. Ed was a friend of mine and one of the most knowledgable people in this area.
