When you're cleaning out the fridge after practice is better to get the protien or carbs? I find myself always craving protien after practice, especially a hard one. Does it make a difference to muscle recovery what you eat? Thanx!!
At the Olympic Training Center we were taught that swimmers training hard should eat 50% carbs,25-30% protein and 20-25% fat. Within 1 hour of swimming the ideal meal has a 4 to 1 carb to protein ratio to replenish muscle glycogen. If you don't replenish the glycogen you will feel weaker the next day and not be able to workout as efficiently.
