Quick question.....lol

I was reading in this month's issue of either "Bicycling" or "Runner's World" that a study was done that shows that athletes who drank Chocolate Milk as a recovery drink instead of commercially available recovery beverage had a significant improvement in recovery and performance.

Curious to hear the answers about the baby food.

I'm no endurance sports historian, but I do belive that baby food was popular nutritional supplement before the invention of gels, bars, etc.

 I would imagine that you can find all natural baby food (I would hope all of it is) that would be safe for anyone. Take a look at the ingredients and nutrtional breakdown, then compare it to your nutritional needs during training

Baby food is just regular food that is mashed up for easy consumption and digestion.  Very few, if any, added flavors or spices ... baby tummies need smooth and bland.

Personally, I'd rather eat some peas than some mashed baby food peas, but that's just me.  And after two kids, I can tell you that the baby food bananas, carrots and apple/blueberry blend are pretty good  

Baby food wouldn't harm you...the little ones are more sensitive than you.

 However, I'm not sure you'll be saving yourself any money. I made my own baby food for a while to SAVE money and reduce waste. It really don't take a lot of time as long as you create the food in bulk.  Think about how many jars of baby food you would have to eat to really fuel yourself.  26 g of CHO is really only 100 calories.

 If you prefer your food mashed, here's a link for instructions on making baby food:

Yeah the hassle of jars and glass is kinda a big deal, but the whole 31 cent thing really caught my eye. I would bring a pack sack, and store the litter in there, then maybe after start mashing my own foods and re-use the jars to really save money.....which is the whole idea here.
