I hear it has recovery properties similar to chocolate milk... :lol:

True, both are dairy. Those salty chips must really quench your thirst.

Greg, do a recovery drink instead. It really helps to restore the muscles for better function the following day. I will write a thread about recovery drinks.

Buy a new mousetrap, set it and carefully place it in the bag and put the bag out of reach of your children. I'm told that after just one time of getting your fingers crushed by the trap you'll stop with the chips. Buying a new trap vs using one you might have around the house is key if you want to eat the chips later. :wink:
Course, if you simply switch to Snickers bars your on your own. :lol:
Myself, I had a chocolate milk on the way home and a couple nice pieces of home made banana nut bread when I got home. That wasn't too bad, until I had the ice cream cone...

You're skinny so you can eat all the chips you want....Almost everyday after skiing..I eat steak or nachos or pizza always washed down with beer..and I wonder why I can ski everyday and still not drop a pound..lol
I bypassed beers after golf the otherday..I feel like after playing a round of cart golf..I don't deserve to pig out and drink gallons of beer..

Eating a whole bag of chips isn't good for you even if you are skinny. Being skinny is still no excuse to eat shitty. And as far I can tell a few hours of night skiing on groomed terrain really isn't that much of a workout.

Eating shit food isn't the way to live a long life.. then again, only eating vegetables and your quality of living may not be all that great either.
Even if someone's skinny it's possible to have poor vitals... like cholesterol, tri count, blood pressure, resting pulse, etc.
Actually Greg, you crave chips after a ride because you need to replace the salts you sweat out. It's natural. It's just the fat and cholesterol in the chips that isn't really what you need. Switch to something lighter like pretzels. Also, try some electrolyte replacement while you're riding, your craving for salts will be lessened at the end of the ride plus you'll feel and ride better.
I use chocolate milk (made w/ 1%) for a recovery a lot and usually plan rides so I'm ready to eat a full meal afterwards. The hour after you stop the activity is really the golden time for recovery.
Having the vegetable garden is great because since I'm cheap and hungry a lot, I go down to the garden to get stuff to eat and I love knowing that it's also free, minus the sweat and time.

This is true. Though I can't help but think someday my metabolism is going to suddenly slow way down and I'm going to blow up like a balloon. My weight has been steadily increasing over the years. In college, I was a super skinny mo-fo like Austin, mostly in the 140's. Now, I'm approaching 170 which is probably an ideal weight.

One thing I realize more and more is that most skinny people aren't naturally skinny but eat healthy..or have a small appetite.

I'm naturally skinny. I can eat big meals like a horse, but I don't normally snack so that probably helps.

Eating smaller meals and snacking more often on stuff that's not shit would be healthier.

I, on the other hand, exercise so I can eat crappy foods that I enjoy... but not during the week, though.
