For those of you who workout in the morning, what works for you as a recovery meal/snack? I had been swimming every-other-day (because I needed the rest), but I feel more conditioned now and have just about worked up to swimming every day. I am interested to see what other people eat for recovery after a hard workout. (For me, it's wheat toast or a wheat bagel and peanut butter, but I'm sure there's something better out there.)
Thanks!

I like greasy breakfast food after a hard workout. Waffle House is preferred, but when pressed for time any of the fast food chains' breakfast sandwiches will do. :agree:
Have you ever seen how they make wieners. My wife experimented once and cooked up some chicken skins and walla they looked exactly like chicken wiener filling. When I was a kid I used to go to the local meat packer, saw them making wieners yuck.
Weiners are mostly fat and have lots of salt. You should see what they grind up and add to these things.
The gas station puts them on those rolley things called hotdog buns. Not very appetizing, a slosh of mustard, relish, and ketchup add to the taste.
During the war when we could not get all foods, ketchup sandwiches tasted good. We even enjoyed miraclewhip sandwiches with relish. I am sure they were as nourishing as a hotdog. Probably tasted as good as a hot dog.
I know what goes in em... and it all tastes pretty damn awesome to me... but I don't go crazy with the condiments, just a small bit of relish and a line of ketchup.
And who doesn't like chicken skin? That's the best part of a chicken. I go to KFC, get a bucket, and eat all the extra crispy breading/skin and toss the rest. This tasty blissful conglomeration of ingredients couldn't be made possible without the use of the gods' tool: the pressure fryer.
This was just about my after workout snack. I won't even get started on the cheeseburger dinners that fully recharge me for the next day's workout. :angel:
