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.
After I swim or workout, I'm usually in the car for at least an hour driving kids to practice. Not conducive to food/milk so much, and I hate milk anyway. I have a stash of balance bars in the car. Because I have some trouble with recovery, I feel I need to try something. I'll switch to gatorade or endurox and see how that works.
Fort, I haven't kept up with this whole thread, but the best testing & most easily digestible protein-oriented bar I've found is a 30g Protein bar from Premier Nutrition. I pick these up from Costco and usually carry them with me on business travel to avoid the Mongo Choco Chunk cookies I see at every airport. I'll often have one during non-travel days as a snack.
My wife and I also have been using Heed recently as a drink, she for running and me for swimming. It seems to go down more smoothly than the others, as well. Very mild, but good taste.
