Best post workout meal

Just wanted to know what some of you guys are having post workout, shake / meal?

I usually have a protein shake. Not a weight gainer though, so no carbs in it. Then about 1 hour or a bit more after i have my meal.

How is that or should i definately need to have carbs aswell straight after the workout?
 
If I workout in the evening it's dinner

if I workout in the morning it's breakfast.

Hmmm- maybe I could sell this concept?!

Haha thats what i was doing, but how long after is dinner, mine is about an hour am i waiting too long?

Is just wpc post workout sufficient until then, i've read having some wpc and aswell as gatorade (the powder) is good to.
 
Sip the whey and Gatorade through the workout, it's very helpful.

If your still hungry after your workout eat a banana or apple or both, don't over think it.
Use your workout as a guide, if you are getting stronger you're eating enough, if you are getting fat your eating too much, if you are getting fat and no sign of strength re- think your workout, your not working hard enough.

dextrose and bcaa's might work out cheaper.. minus flavours/colours and fructose
 
Steak and potatoes always served me well right after training..then I discovered internet and things went awry.
 
mattias do you mind if i ask, why the beta alanine post workout and not during the day in small doses, or just pre? also what is the main purpose of bicarb? cheers
 
Protein shake straight after training. Then within an hour either steak/chicken/lamb with salad/vegies.
 
I go for the protein mate (not just cos I sell it). Its quick, easy, does the trick. Good luck.
 
Dont you need a certain amount of carbs and protein post workout,

.25 - .5 % of bw for carbs and .5% for protein, i read that one bb.com somewhere.
