Eating after exercise

You should have something right away. Something high in protein. I have a slimfast shake right after, then actual food about an hour later. I'll have all bran or some oats.

Generally you want to refuel immediately after a good workout with some carbohydrates, protein, and water. Your body has about 15 min of prime recovery time after a workout. During that time it’s important to replenish muscle fuel (carbs) as well as protein that aids in the repair of damaged muscle tissue, and promote growth of new tissue. I know it sounds counterproductive to eat after a workout if your goal is to lose weight, but by refueling and starting the recovery process early, your body will repair and build muscle which in turns increases your metabolism. This is what will make you more efficient at burning calories on a regular basis. Things like yogurt with fruit or cereal, or a turkey sandwich are great options.

How long do you guys usually wait after exercise to eat??

I try to eat immediately after and I always go for protein. You want to fuel your body after working out.

I try to eat some protein shortly after my work out. I usually eat food, but protein powders/shakes can work as well. I have read that if you want to eat some more sugary carbs or gatorade-type drinks, that the best time to do so is shortly after a work out because your body is primed to digest/process those foods right away at that time...instead of storing them as fat.

depends what exercise...after weight training....usually immediatley, get some protein in you or a recovery drink is great!
