I'm going to try this stuff out. I've been getting calf cramps the last 30 minutes of 90 minute workouts, depending on the types of sets we're doing (it's worse on distance sets).
I saw a guy in my group chugging something after workout and he said he's less sore the next day if he drinks it.

Balance Bars aren't bad. In your situation, Fort, I would go with one of those plus a banana. Multiply by however hungry you are. I'm not as steadfast as qbrain about high GI post-workout. Since I generally eat low GI, that recommendation always seemed a bit suspect to me.
My post swimming meal is loaded with sugar, that is true.
Post lifting I usually just eat a normal meal since I lift at home and lift right before dinner.
I am not advocating that you eat chocolate cake after workout (but it has eggs. It has milk. It has wheat. Nutritious!).
