normally i drink 30-60 g waxy maize, 20-40 g whey. then once i get home and shower i make one carton egg beaters(50 grams protein) with one can of tuna mixed in(scrambled). also, one big bowl full o some sort of complex carbohyrate...normally oatmeal, or some kind of whole wheat cereal.

i wait two hours, then hit up a tablespoon of udo's oil, a few large chicken breasts, and how ever much veggies i want.

every two to three hours ater that i just eat as much meat and veggies as i can untill i fall asleep.

Exactly. Food or shake it doesn't matter as long as you get nutrition into your system thats all that matters.

I'm with Wes on this one. I've tried everything, and every way out there. No way is really better than another. The most important point is to just make sure you eat something within 30min or so of your workout being finished.
