> + Whey to go: Protein may be just as important to long-term endurance as carbs. In a trial of 15 cyclists, researchers at James Madison University found that men who sipped a drink with a 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein were able to pedal 29% longer, on average, than men drinking carbs alone. "Protein helps to prevent the depletion of stored carbs within muscle fiber, allowing you to work out longer," says Mike Saunders, Ph.D., the study's author.
