EDIT: Not that it changes my opinion, but was that recovery drink meant to be used after an event such as a marathon or something like that? Or did they really suggest that for every workout? Did they even give examples of workouts that they would use the drink for? Sorry for all the questions, dude... I'm curious

This recovery drink was for a 210 lbs man after 60-90 minutes "intense" exercise. It gets crazier as the time goes up. Their head is in the right spot as far as maintaining a 4-5:1 ratio of carbs to protein, but in doing so; they recommend an astronomical amount of carbohydrate intake. solid fruit + 24 oz fruit juice + 6 glucose tablets + 50 protein immediately post workout for a 210 lber.
