Hey, here is my issue. I am trying to start a cut (for the very first time) and I am looking to increase the total protein in my diet while limiting my carbs to mostly breakfast and post workout.
I will be working out 3 times a week, around 5pm. After my workout is done, I am looking to take in a whey protein shake (ON gold standard). I know it is necessary to get some carbs post workout along with the protein (insulin spike). Is it fine if I were to take a protein shake right after my workout ends, and then eat dinner 10-15 minutes after? My dinner will consists of carbs and protein, probably a 400-600 calorie meal with around 20-30g of protein and 40-50g of carbs.
Is this a good plan? Later in the night I will eat very little, no carbs probably cottage cheese or almonds as a snack. Is this post workout nutrition plan suitable, or is it too much protein at once? I know the whey protein will digest fast but won't the protein from my meal digest slowly, so then my body will be able to digest all the protein within this meal?
Please help me out here, I am relatively new on the topic of post workout nutrition.

Ya dude start reading and learning. No need for a PWO specific meal and there is nothing wrong with carbs at night. Just focus on good old fashioned food and hit your macros for the day.
Example I workout around 9-11pm, my pre workout meal and post workout meal are my highest carb meals of the day and I try to keep fat low. I eat about every 5 hours, so depending on my workout I'll eat anywhere from 30min to 2 hours after I'm done. I eat meat and potatoes also, not whey and some sort of sugary carb. I then wake up at night and eat a meal with protein, carbs, and fat.
In short, about 70% of my daily carbs are after 7pm, I don't do a PWO shake, and I've never been leaner or stronger in my life.
