After a long-to-epic ride, I may indulge in Circular Food Module. It's good cold too, I have several segments of cooked Circular Food Module on standby in my Dual-Mode Thermal Stasis Chamber right now. It contains all four food groups and is easy to prepare, but it does generally contain a fair amount of fat, so it's best used in moderation.

Anyone try accelerade as a recovery drink? I believe it has protein in it, pretty cheap if you find it on sale. Curious if it works at all.

Over 40 years of cycling, over 300,000 miles. Have never used a recovery drink.
Eat/drink what you like. At age 80 still getting in 100+ miles a week. My drink on the bike today at 100 degrees here in Arizona? WATER! Pedal on! Rudy/zonatandem |

After intense exercise your body will accept any simple sugar, without an insulin spike, and use it to replace carbs. I use a can of coke.
The next thing to replace is BCAA. There are some protien drinks out there that will do the trick. Both should be taken as close to the end of training as possible. The next step is a proper meal that isn't packed full of excessive carbs. Your body can only store so much so extra just gets stored as fat. The correct amount you'd have to calculate yourself. Then sleep. The hormones needed to stimulate recovery are only released as you slip into sleep so sleep is important for recovery. |

Me and a couple of others did five centuries in as many days this week, and what you posted Bob is completely consistent with what I experienced. But instead of Coke, I swigged a quart of Pedialyte followed by Gatorade followed by the meal. It really kept me feeling good each morning and I'm no kid anymore. BCAA intake was consistent throughout the day.

I don't drink milk and I don't eat meat. I have a bottle of Ensure when I return after a long ride. I make sure I have protein at dinner instead of pasta.
