How long to wait to eat after a workout ? What would be ideal until I eat a big meal after a workout?

Generally I wait 40 to 60 minutes... the time to take a shower and dress up... then I eat.

the whole anabolic window thing is a myth.

just eat when you eat, there isn't a rule

if you are trying to lose weight i would even say let the wave run longer.

Not really. It makes little or no difference.

You don't have to become OCD with it but the sooner you can eat something after your workout - the better.

The faster you can get nutrients into your body, the sooner the recovery and growth process can start.

I wait a couple hours after to get really hungry.
