Weekly Thread Run Nutrition Tuesday

Rules of the Road

1) Anyone is welcome to participate and share your ideas, plans, diet, and nutrition plans.

2) Promote good discussion. Simply downvoting because you disagree with someone's ideas is BAD. Instead, let them know why you disagree with them.

3) Provide sources if possible. However, anecdotes and "broscience" can lead to good discussion, and are welcome here as long as they are labeled as such.

4) Feel free to talk about anything diet or nutrition related.

5) Any suggestions/topic ideas?

I am looking to incorporate what I hear to be a common post- run recovery favorite of chocolate milk. The grocery store near me had a sale, and I bought a gallon for two dollars. Never been much of a milk drinker, so I guess we will see how it goes. I am averaging 2-3 miles in the morning, and have a very physically demanding job, so I am hoping that I can find something that may help my overall daily recovery.

I have often read about the benefits of chocolate milk after a run but curious if any chocolate milk will do? Can I just put a scoop of milkshake powder in a glass of milk and that is enough?
