David, if you want something sweet after a workout, I consistently read that chocolate milk is one of the best post-workout drinks. - pmb Sep 27, 14:15 42
- yep. -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 14:30
- I strongly agree with the notion that taste is learned. *but* it's a hard thing to change. - Reagen Sep 27, 14:19 37

    - I got a fairly immediate and tangible benefit. Just sayin'. -- nm - Reagen Sep 27, 14:28 1
      - Studies so far seem to generally show that not to be the case, though I'm sure it works for some people. -- nm - pmb Sep 27, 14:31
    - Single point analysis here, but it only took about a week to adjust for me. Also... - Dr.Vermin Sep 27, 14:28 1
      - That's a law of man more than a law of nature - Reagen Sep 27, 14:30
  - I think it's very hard to change, and since I think that David is a supertaster, it's much much harder. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 27, 14:23 3
    - yeah, but you are biased. i think his taste is totally ordinary!....nm - x Sep 27, 14:26 2

    - I lik turkey bacon, it's ok...but I do get low sodium regular bacon. -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 14:30
    - I'm not "fooled" by turkey bacon, but I like it just the same. -- nm - Reagen Sep 27, 14:21
    - I know what you mean. I cannot deal with most reduced-fat versions of real food. So I just eat less of the real stuff. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:20 21

        Getting back to the larger issue, it's kind of a distraction to think about how many calories you burned doing a particular thing - Reagen Sep 27, 14:26 18
        
        Right, more than anything I need to rebuild my stamina, which still hasn't come back yet. - David Sep 27, 14:33 2

        Generally it's a mistake to focus too much on what you burn during a workout because it's really not a meaningful amount in terms of your daily - pmb Sep 27, 14:30 10
        
        I wonder if I could get a standing desk. I think they'd think I'm nuts. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:32 5

        We have people at our office with them, though they usually do it because of back issues. -- nm - pmb Sep 27, 14:33 2
        
        We have a few people who sit on exercise balls. - Kim Pine Sep 27, 14:33 1
        
        I've read that's not so good. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:35
        
        I'm a big time fidgeter. I expect that burns a significant number of calories a day for me. -- nm - Reagen Sep 27, 14:31 3
        
        I really saw this in effect when I was at Lollapalooza. I was almost entirely standing for 10 hours a day and it's about a mile walk from one end to - pmb Sep 27, 14:40 2
        
        though you have to be careful with drawing conclusions from that since that could have been water weight. - Reagen Sep 27, 14:43 1
        
        That was probably some of it, though like you I was drinking water constantly. -- nm - pmb Sep 27, 14:45
        
        plus, those calorie counts from machines are so inaccurate. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:27 3
        
        true, though they're more often high than low. -- nm - Reagen Sep 27, 14:29 2
        
        They also don't account for the fact that you would be burning a portion of those calories just by breathing as well. People look at the number and - pmb Sep 27, 14:32
        
        vanity calories? I would not be surprised. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:29
- Would strawberry be okay or does it have to be chocolate? -- nm - David Sep 27, 14:16 2
  - No. In fact, that will negate any progress you made. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 27, 14:46
