I eat a serving of protein right after wards.I used to drink high calorie weighted gainers myself right after then I tried protein shakes but I read that protein can't really get digested fully without the presence of the right kinds of fat..no I am not talking about omega 3s or mct oil but the fat long with the animal it was naturally off of. I thought it wasn't good to eat after wards but it works for me so far.I usually have a steak or chicken thighs,salad and some sticky rice.I don't think you have to eat a large meal,just anything with enough protein to encourage growth and rebuilding.I am trying out Muscle milk right now because it does have fat and even fiber but that's more of a bedtime protein snack then anything else,seems to work better and is high in good fats so that's a new one lol.
