Chocolate Milk after work yes or no ?? Discuss
What is up with all of these articles on men’s health and women’s health stating that chocolate milk is a great post workout meal. I went to the store and looked at chocolate milk cow’s milk and soy milk and 1cup has almost 30 grms of sugar and in some cases high in fat. I understand milk has protien but why would I do an hour of cardio and 45 mins of weights just to consume 30 grms of sugar ??? Discuss

The idea is to use insulin as a means of encouraging the development of muscle mass. There are caveats of course.

Hmm. Chocolate milk is an excellent post workout drink for the reasons stated above. You need a fast digesting carbs with protein.
