FitBloggin’ Recap: Optimizing Recovery – Maximizing Post-Exercise Nutrition

Optimizing Recovery

Conference admission received as a FitBloggin’ live blogger, along with some chocolate milk. 😀

Optimizing Recovery – Maximizing Post-Exercise Nutrition was an interesting FitBloggin’ panel presented by Dr. Wendy Bazilian on behalf of the Got Chocolate? team. This session went over a lot of information regarding the best food choices to make after a workout and why.

Post-workout snack ideas

Dr. Bazilian said that taste, affordability, and convenience are almost as important when considering an post-workout snack in order to make it accessible and realistic for most people. I personally agree with her there!

Why chocolate milk?

Chocolate milk has become a popular post-recovery drink because of its combination of protein, carbs, electrolytes and vitamins. Obviously, this session was presented by the the Got Chocolate? panel, but there was a collection of scientific sources cited. I found it to be very informative overall, so I took a lot of photos of the slides presented for future reference – I wanted to be able to remember everything so I could share it with Jai! I’ve included my photos as thumbnails below, so you can click through to learn more.

  1. From what I understand, it’s mostly a milk thing, but low-fat chocolate milk has more carbohydrates which is, I believe, why it’s being touted as a sort of all-in-one package – my takeaway from what they were talking about is that you could pair regular low-fat milk with something else to get the same ratio as the chocolate milk after an intense workout. I thought it was pretty interesting so I’m glad I took a lot of pics or I would never remember all that info, hahaha!

  2. The clear photos you took make it seem almost like we were there! This sounds like a good conference I wish I’d been able to go to. I love most anything that has to do with a healthy lifestyle.
