What is a good post-workout snack?

Post workout for me is about 9oz of chicken, mashed potatoes and broccoli.
Also a good time to have a cupcake or 2.
DONT EAT 60% of your calories post workout.
Lol

large chocolate milk

Definitely much more then a cup of peas!.. It's the second time in a day (other then breakfast) to get in a good amount of calories at one sitting. It should be more of a meal then a snack. Doesn't matter if it's a drink or food, just as long as it contains simple carbohydrates and protein. Your body is like a sponge after a workout and willing to absorb the nutrients and put them to use.

Waxy maize and hyrdo whey

Whats waxy maize?

All in all you should eat about 60% of your calories post workout.

That is insane. Are you saying that someone who eats 3000+ calories/day should eat over 1500 calories in one sitting, right after working out? 30-50g of protein and 30-50g of simple carbs will suffice.

If I do have a post-workout something, it's often 3 tbsp of Gatorade powder mixed with 1 or 2 scoops of protein powder. 32g of carbs, 30-50g of protein, depending on how much I put in.

No fat.

I'm just saying that if you have the bulk of your food for the day after you workout youll benefit best from the nutrients.
Lol my breakfast alone was 1500cals today...

60% of calories for a 50 yr old female is not advised.. That's absurd!

Okay so maybe 60% is just too much for the general public.
=D

I'll make this statement "Eat a decent protein and carb."

Happy?!

What I eat depends on how long I worked out. I'll make a protein smoothie if I've been on a run, but just a handfull of nuts with cheese and fruit for a walking day.

I would love to see a few credible sources that back up the idea that you should eat most of your calories in the meal after your workout. Most everything I've ever read on the subject said the opposite, that you should have a light meal after, and only go back for more if you're truly hungry.

Most articles covering glycogen depletion and carb back loading will help with the concept.
If you workout first thing in the morning you do it fasted and you e got the day to feed.
If you workout in the afternoon you start your day off with your fats and proteins for hormonal regulation the post workout you feed with high carbs and protein and low fats since they aren't really aiding in recovery.

I'm also a follower of IF, Martin Berkhan, Ori Hoffmelker, Brad Pilon, ESE and leangains as well as Cheat Mode by Silverhydra as well as rippedbody.jp.
Search any of these and you'll see a lot of info on nutrient timing.

Whey protein for me.

PERFECT Except for me it's far less because I'm tiny. I find good protein, lots of veggies or fruit, and a little bit of good carbs is quite satisfying after a good workout. I like real food, meat, poultry, seafood, etc rather than protein shakes and magic potions. It works for me.

on strength training days, its a giant whey protein shake (may have overdone it last time) but I wasn't hungry for hours and hours afterwards, after light cardio its a bowl of cheerios and some fruit

Lots of water- and a protein shake or questbar. If you're eating meals throughout the day with adequate protein and carbs there's no reason you need to quickly eat anything after working out unless you desire to. It's all up to your presences and your calorie and macro daily goals.

Protein shake mixed with almond milk and fruit..banana, strawberries blueberries..sometimes spinach
