Remember the three “R”s Rehydrate
Need at least 20 oz of fluid (2-3 cups per pound lost)
Replenish Carbohydrate needed to fill glycogen stores
Recover Carbohydrate and protein needed for muscle repair
and growth Take Advantage of the 30 minute window
Ideal Recovery Foods & Snacks
Chocolate milk Yogurt and fruit Trail mix (nuts, seeds, dried fruit, cereal,
etc) String cheese and wheat crackers Sports bar/shake Peanut butter and jelly sandwich Cereal with skim milk
