carbs ok right after a workout?

[1_more_rep]

hey everyone...i just got back from an exhausting day at the gym with the 5x5 routine (with an extra set of curls and an added set of hypers because i had extra time before i could get picked up)

anyways...i just got home and made myself a pita with cheese and olive oil in it (if you're wondering why what i'm eating is unusual- its arabic because i am arabic ) anyways...let me give you the nutritional breakdown of everything in the sandwich:

1 pita bread: calories: 139 fat cal: 0
total fat: 0g
saturated fat: 0g
polyunsaturated fat/monounsaturated fat: 0g
cholesterol: 0 mg
sodium: 158 mg
total carbs: 29 g
dietary fibers: less than 1g
sugars: less than 1 g
protein: 5g
vitamin A/C: 0%
iron: 10%
calcium: 0%
thiamin: 20%
niacin: 10% (what are these last 3? healthy? bad)
Riboflavin: 10%

now the 5 slices of cheese (ill mult. serving by 5 b/c 1 serving = 1 slice)
calories: 625
fat cal: 450 (ouch...bad right?)
total fat: 50g
saturated fat: 30g
cholesterol: 150 mg
sodium: 2200 mg
dietary fibers/sugars: 0g
protein: 42.5
vitamin A: 7%
vitamin c: 0%
calcium: 37.5%
iron: 0%

and finally 2 tablespoons of olive oil on top (multiplying everything by 2 because 1 tbsp = 1 serving):
calories: 250 cal from fat: 250
total fat: 28 g
saturated fat: 4 g
sodium: 0 mg ))
total carbs: 0g
protein: 0 g

ok thats the entire breakdown of the sandwich i just had after my workout...i ate it with my protein shake (22g) that has very FEW carbs in it as well

so i was wondering...would something like this be ok right after a workout? like...can my body use all these carbs n fats i'm taking in or is it just pretty much demolishing everything i just worked for in the gym?

also..i have a kind of off topic question...ive increased my protein intake to 2 scoops a day...(44g total protein)...i was wondering if i should take ALL of this at once? or is it too much for my body to take in and will just throw it away? should i take half of it right after my workout and maybe the other half after i eat and shower (giving it time...maybe about an hour or 2 later?)

thanks

Generally you want carbs with less fat post workout because fats digest slower and your body needs energy fast.

You need carbs and protein post workout. Mostly carbs, some protein. I usually eat a banana, bowl of spaghetti and a bowl of rice with a protein shake.

i don't think anyone should be eating that much fat in one meal, you're insane

Eat more fats and slow burning protein and carbs before you workout.

After your workout, eat fast burning carbs and quick digesting protein. I usually mix Powerade with 2 scoops of protein after my workout. That gives me about 44 g protein and 40-70 g of carbs (quick digesting), something like that. Then I go and eat at home or try to within the first hour after training.

Post workout, I eat a cup of oatmeal with two scoops of vanilla protein powder.. little milk to make it look like oatmeal cookie dough.. even though its actually about 120 grams of protein and only 24 carbs.. then 5 hardboiled eggwhites, mixed in with a can of albacore tuna and a just a bit of olive oil.. litre of water..

post workout you need carbs such as dextrose at least 90g and a fast releasing protein such as Whey orefer. 50g
