    Um.... eating after the gym is generally encouraged. So yeah, it's fine. Why wouldn't it be okay? Unless eating at a certain time makes you ill or something, you can eat whenever you please and it doesn't really matter that much.

    It is OK to eat before and after the gym, and also while at the gym. Especially if you go to a different gym than me. LOL

    However you feel is best.I find a snack an hour or so before, then dinner after, works for me and my body.

    You should have smoething to eat before you workout to fuel your workout and you should have some protein with in 30 minutes after your workout.

    Why?

    If you have a few minutes and the inclination to learn, here's a study by Alan Aragon and Brad Schoenfeld re: Pre/Post Workout Nutrition (posted on MFP courtesy of Fire_Rock):
