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?"

Do snack mixes count? Usually I have two ($0.65) bags of Tom's Mingles (They're much like Gardetto's) after my workouts. Although salty, I'm guessing (not so sure) that the bread sticks and pretzels are loaded with carbs.
So, my question is, are salty snack mixes helpful in reloading carbs, or are they harmful?
