Chocolate milk has a 3:1 carb-to-protein ratio that replenishes glycogen and repairs muscle after training. Most athletes don't eat enough calories, and chocolate milk's caloric density helps close that gap.
I want every athlete on planet Earth to be drinking chocolate milk right after your workout for 2 reasons. Reason number 1: chocolate milk follows the 3:1 carb to protein ratio, which means for every 3 grams of carbohydrates, it has 1 gram of protein. This is the ideal ratio for your body to be able to recover and get what it needs. Carbs are going to refuel your muscle gas tank so that you can hit it hard tomorrow, and protein is going to help your muscles recovery so you can recover, they can mend and build, and and so you can hit it hard tomorrow. Reason number 2, 99% of athletes are not eating enough food. If you think you are, you probably aren't. So chocolate milk is full of calories, which is going to be great to add to your overall daily caloric intake to allow for your body to get enough energy and calories that it needs to thrive instead of just survive.
