When do you guys have a meal after a workout session.

when at work (i work on an offshore vessel) i workout in the morning and within an hour i'm having my breakfast.
just a sandwich or fruit.......nothing fancy
Not sure if it's oke to eat "straight" after a workout session
Just curious what other people do.....

I can say I do roughly the same, as I am tight for time in the AM - I will get up, have my coffee (a nice caffeine boost before working out is helpful) then I work out for half an hour. Take my shower and then eat my breakfast. I give myself that 15 mins of shower time in between working out and eating. But that's about the extent of it

From my Googling and reading here on MFP articles, you're supposed to eat within a half hour to a hour after a workout. So it sounds like you have a good plan already, OP.

I'm up at 5am for the gym, have a banana, get there for 5:30am. Do my workout, out by 6:30am. Immediately drink my protein shake. Wait until 8 or 9 and make breakfast!

Unless you're an athlete doing several hours of training a day, it really doesn't matter.

If you are, then you probably have a nutritionist telling you what to do.
