Good Post workout Meal or No ??

[CJDUB2012]

After I lift, I usually walk Home from the Gym, and immediately have my Post- Workout Meal. The meal is usually Skim Milk w/ a scoop of ON Whey Protein with Whole Wheat Toast w/ Organic Peanut Butter. Is this a good/ decent choice or no? I'm in good shape... trying to keep muscle on, but I'm trying to shed a little fat in the waist area. I am 36 Years old. THANKS in advance for your thoughts/ replies.

If you enjoy that then it's fine.

Have you composed a specific diet matched to your goals?

Not exactly... I have been very active my entire life, so I could always just eat whatever I wanted. Now that I am 36, I can't. So I have made a lot of progess as far as just making healthier choices, but I do not have a specific diet in place.

what ever works for you, when i get out of the gym i have 2 whole breasts of chicken or fish like tuna or grouper, or a few lean burger patties.

if it fits in your daily ratios and has a decent amount of nutrition that should be good enough. LOL chocolate milk beat out whey protein shakes on post workout scores btw. I like to have it after cardio ( I run or do serious cardio for endurance, not just for cal burn) on my higher carb days.

Don't eat directly post-workout! Here's some advice that I've gathered from research over the years. After an intense lifting session, your body's glucose levels are depleted. You must ingest carbohydrates to settle the spike. Have a few tablespoons of honey about 5 minutes after a lift, protein 20 minutes after, then a full meal consisting of protein, fat, and carbs about an hour, to an hour and fifteen minutes after.
