Post Ride nutrition / Peanut based

I believe you have to try and stick to approximate 4:1 (carb:protein) or 3:1 ratio to maximize recovery effects. Timing is just as important. Example article (citing academic sources):

For every 100g of peanut butter you get:

  • 50g fat
  • 25g protein
  • 20g carbohydrate

Which means the ratio is way off, and you get a ton of calorie-dense fat that might not help you (it can slow down digestion which is not what you want for recovery purposes).
