By now, I’m pretty sure you know how important it is to exercise - especially resistance training. But did you also know that what you eat (or don’t for that matter) immediately afterwards can have a major effect on your results? That’s right, it is extremely important to properly re-fuel your body right after an intense resistance training session. By not eating within the appropriate time, typically between 1/2 hour to 1 hour right after you finish, you will lessen your results by quite a substantial amount. So if you want to get the most from your workout - you MUST eat right after! The quicker, the better, as your muscles are very receptive at this critical time.
So what should you be eating, you ask? There are so many different things that you can eat. Your options are pretty much limitless; however, there are some things you should keep in mind. First, you want to eat something that will be quickly absorbed by the body. Second, you want a good combination of both simple carbs and protein - not fat (this will slow down the absorption of your meal greatly). Third, you want to have this meal right after your workout, or never more than an hour afterwards.
So what do I recommend? Simple - a protein shake made with milk (I use rice milk) with some fruit in it, like a banana or strawberries. Not only is the protein quickly absorbed but the sugar in the milk and fruit are the perfect simple carbs. Keep in mind that although a shake is ideal, it is not your only option. It is acceptable to go home (or a restaurant) and eat a nice meal - just make sure it’s within the time frame I suggested. So make sure to plan ahead the next time you head to the gym, and have your meal or shake ready to go.

It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place.
