Drink after workout?

Water is the best thing to drink right after a workout, sometimes fruit is good afterwards as well. Anything to help cool down your system.
Some were saying eat a full meal, I usually only eat a full meal at breakfast personally. High carb meal at breakfast, and several smaller high protein meals throughout the day. That's just how I do it though.

My trainer told me that if I was lifting, I should have a protein shake within an hour after finishing a workout (which I usually do, in addition to a meal).

Water.
Read about a recent study that states that the average American ingests enough protein daily to cover the requirements of a professional bodybuilder. There's no need for extra.
Though that's for the average person. I'm sure Kupek's protein supplements are needed, being vegetarian. But for standard people, it's unnecessary.

"For one thing to live, another thing must be killed. God, or whoever is responsible, deserves respect for creating such a system. It reveals that we cannot take all matters into our own hands. We need only to focus on doing our best--a simple, yet profound way to live, is it not?"
Do you mean <a href=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... .html>this WP article</a>? If that's what you read, that's not a study, but the reccomendations of a research doctor. <a href=http://www.fitness.gov/faq.html>Nutrition.gov</a> says 1.0 - 1.5 grams of protien per kilogram bodyweight. <a href=http://www.brinkzone.com/protein.html>This article</a> cites a researcher who says it is 1.2 - 1.4 grams for endurance atheletes and 1.7 - 1.8 for strength building.
This is one of those things that I don't have the background to adequately assess both sides, but the stakes are relatively low. I figure making high-protien foods a standard part of your diet if you're looking to add muscle mass is a good thing, and leave it at that.

Yeah, that's why vegans/vegetarian are so skinny, lack of protein. You really need to keep up with the protein.

Rosalina: No.

Rosalina: That's not the subjunctive.
