    Beef sits in your colon for an extended period of time, I would suggest switching it out with Chicken. As for the entire meal goes.

    Good Carbs
    Good Protein
    ZMAs for muscle growth (from dat broccoli)

    If it fits your macros and calories for the day - yes, but you can also eat it before - you don't have to get too caught up with when you eat - base it on preference, adherence and gym performance first.
