Dietary protein intake for trained athletes should be before, during and after physical activity since it is advantageous in gaining muscle mass and strength. It should be noted however that if too much protein and amino acid supplements are consumed it could prove harmful to the body instead of beneficial. The sports nutrition deals with nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and substances such as carbohydrates, sugars and proteins.

Research has proved that milk, especially skim milk and chocolate milk may be the new sports drink since milk leads to protein which boosts net muscle protein balance and while milk naturally contains many nutrients that help to make it a post exercise beverage. Research also suggests that chocolate milk, when compared to plain water or sports drinks, is more effective at replacing fluids lost as sweat and maintaining normal body fluid levels.
