timing of meals w/ PW drink

[magman1]

is it too soon to have a full meal(50grams of protein, fat and carbs) about an hour after i have my post workout shake!

i dont think so, i wait 1.5 hrs

I have heard that 1 hour after is the best time. that is actually when I feel the need. But if you think about it, the PW shake is absorbed quickly-- so you need a meal soon afterwards.

Half an hour after finishing the shake, which should take you about half an hour to take care of.

really depends on if you make a shake with a big caloric 'rollover'. if you know that you're digesting all of the nutrients you took in in about an hour, then it isn't too soon; conversely, if you know that your body hasn't had time to break down all of the calories and shuttle them to where they need to go, wait a little bit.
