After a tough ride, usually very hilly I take: 1 banana + peaches (love peaches), 2 scoops of Whey Protein, 1 scoop of Endurox, 5 mgs. Creatine and 1,000 mgs. of Glutamine, all blended in water. That helps me recover fast, usually the next I'm doing recovery rides with a lots of spinning and no hills.
At the end of the day what count is the total amount of calories.
