How long after a workout do you eat ? I have heard as soon as possible to waiting a few hours... any suggestions. My goals for now is to lose weight with diet, weight training and cardio. Thanks

I eat within half an hour. I usually mix up a protein shake as I leave the gym and drink it on my way home.0

Unless you are an elite level professional athlete, it doesn't matter. Do whatever works best for you.0

15 - 45 minutes is typically the recommended timeframe for eating after a workout.0

I put cottage cheese in my gym bag and eat it after I do squats and Romanian Deadlifts, just before I do Leg Press. Gives it a chance to get nice and room temperature.0

I have my shake when I get home from the gym. Usually about an hour or less after my workout.0

Really? I love cottage cheese and all but I can't think of anything more vomit inducing than room temperature cottage cheese just before leg presses.0 -
Once a month we go out for margaritas and nachos right after boot camp. So far so good.0

Immediately
If it's early AM, 5g creatine, 10g leucine, 20g whey isolate, 30g whey hydrolosate, 30g PWO blend (whey hydro, casein hydro, whey iso).
If it's in the evening, 5g creatine, 10g leucine, 30/30 as above, frozen yogurt with hot fudge and Ressee cups.0 -

Whenever you get hungry. I'm usually not hungry after I run so I don't eat right away. After I lift weights I want to eat the whole house so I eat something else instead.0

I keep it in my pockets so when I get hungry in the middle of a workout I can just grab a handful.0 -

No glutamine brah?0 -
I IMMEDIATELY have a protein shake after my workout. I drink it while I'm changing out of my workout clothes into my "street" clothes. When I get back to work, I eat an apple (15 minutes after my workout).
NOTE: This is what my trainer recommended because I lift heavy. What's right for me may not make a bit of difference to someone else. After teaching Zumba, I usually don't have anything for about 45 minutes, and then it's a bit of almonds or egg whites.0 -

There's glutamine in the protein, never thought much of taking it as a stand alone.0 -
I usually drink my Recovery drink during my workouts and I will have something right afterwards to eat. It is good to do immediate so that you can recover.0

You don't want to wait longer than an hour. 30-60 minutes after a workout is good0

I usually drink a protein shake right after I hit the locker room post workout (I mix it the previous evening). Since I usually workout early in the morning, I have breakfast within an hour.0
