Interesting article about a study of female cyclists and the role of protein in recovery from intense exercise. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/30/phys-ed-what-exercise-science-doesnt-know-about-women/
My takeaways
1. Food for thought - many studies and recommended daily allowances (RDA) are based on the results of male test subjects. In some cases, I am sure it explains why I don't see the results that are 'promised' by the label
2. It reinforces my commitment to be a one woman science experiment
3. When I compete, I am competing against other women whose body probably acts and reacts to fuel sources like mine, so I am not at a disadvantage as a female competitor
