I like having about 40g protein Post workout, and 20grams (max) carbs. My strength is still going up, and i'm not putting on any fat, which is good for me (as it tends to pile on quickly)!

But like all things, you have to try and find what works for you, cause everyone has a different body type.
There is such a thing as being extremely carb sensitive....so I can understand why chocolate milk wouldn't work for you.

But, after you workout....your body has just burned a bunch of glycogen as its main form of energy, and you need to replenish.

Chocolate milk does that for you.
