Wouldn't body mass also be a factor? If som how? Or does it matter at all? If it does, what is/could be considered an overload?
Mass and effort are going to effect the overall amount of the recovery, but at the end of a workout, your somewhat limited by how much your body can absorb.
I use a single serving of Endurox, which is somewhere around 250 calories, right when I finish the workout. That will get me through a shower and getting dressed, then I'll have something else based on how I feel.
