I've heard it said that it's very important to eat a goodly portion of protein within 30 to 40 minutes of a strenuous workout.
Personally, the thought of food after working out is kind of nauseating.
I will drink some kind of juice to re hydrate and get my metabolism in balance, but it's usually an hour or more before I eat.
I do not want to limit the benefits of hard work on the bike or in the gym by not doing what's best.
Do you make sure to eat protein soon after a workout?
If so why?
