Chocolate Milk?

I've never heard of it helping you burn more calories, but I've heard it's a good recovery drink after a workout, like a protein shake would be.

Not really true no but you should eat afterwards to recover and I have heard it is a great recovery drink , though I don't like sugary foods so I don't.

Only one way to lose weight....consume less calories than you burn.
Chocolate milk supposedly a good recovery drink, but help you burn calories more than other foods, I dont' think so. I could be wrong but common sense tells me a sugary drink like chocolate milk has a lot of empty calories.

Depends on your workout. If it's a high impact/endurance workout, absolutely. If not, then you're better off sticking with a small apple. Do remember to eat something, though. You deplete your muscles of their nutrients at least a little bit (if not a lot) with each workout, so it's important to replenish.

It's kind of true about "helping you burn more calories," but the theory isn't exclusive to chocolate milk. If you refuel your muscles after a workout, they will perform better throughout the rest of the day, thus burning calories more calories faster.

Or, your friend could be absolutely right. (Though I'm sure it's not a black/white thing)

I love chocolate milk.....I lived off that and orange juice when I was pregnant...both times.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

No...it will not burn more calories.

Best recovery drink? I guess it depends on what your goals are, but the nature of the protein in milk (casein) doesn't lend itself to quick absorption...thus your muscles have already broken down by the time the protein is absorbed.

After a strength training workout my body needs about 35 grams of carbs and 55 grams of protein...not exactly the ratio of chocolate milk: 30 grams carbs, 8 grams protein.
