What are good foods to eat after a workout, or are there certain meals you eat usually? Protein shakes are good to drink afterwards aswell right?

Try to get a good deal of fast carbs after workout, as well as some protein. A good example would be a protein drink with some dextrose in it.

i keep reading on different websites to just have protein, or to have protein and carbs, or more protein few carbs, me myself have started having a 3 pieces of chicken with skin took off straight after workout plus a glass of orange juice which has carbs in it, should be enough protein there i think

They ask us why we mutilate each other like we do
They wonder why we hold such little worth for human life
Facing all this drama
To ask us why we turn from bad to worse is to ignore from which we came
You see, you wouldn't ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had
damaged petals
On the contrary, we would all celebrate its tenacity
We would all love its will to reach the sun
Well, we are the roses
This is the concrete
And these are my damaged petals
Don't ask me why

^uh oh. fruit after a workout is real bad.Fructose will replenish liver glycogen only and leave your muscles starving.You need simple sugars immediately after workout,with some protein,to spike the insulin and get the protein to the muscles ASAP.Like shahin said, protein with dextrose,it's the best combo.

you also need to get some whey protein instead of eating chicken.whey protein is more bioavailable.

one more thing,never have any fat after workout,it will get slapped on your belly right away

yes it's make a huge difference.if you dont get protein to the muscles in time,the muscle is wasted,and broken down for energy use.

chicken is fine to eat for a meal,but after a workout is the most crucial time to ingest the highest quality and bioavailable nutrients.chicken protein takes a longer time to digest than whey.so if your muscles are starving after a workout,are you gonna let the chicken protein takes its sweet old time to get to the muscles? of course not,you're gonna take whey so it can come to your muscles' rescue.

isnt eating chicken or tuna after a workout doing anything for the muscles and what about if you cant afford to buy ready made suppliments, can you make your own what will work, i found this and it looks ok:

like i said.it takes too long for it to get to your muscles,so after a workout,it's useless.you need a fast protein,which is what whey protein supplements are.

i think it's garbage.100 grams of carbs is 400 calories,add the protein calories,and that's 500 calories,for a shake? protein supps are like 130 calories a shake.theres too many useless calories in there.plus the fact that it still isnt whey protein.you'd be wasting your money.i wouldnt recommend it.

there's cheap whey protein out there,maybe you're looking in the wrong spots.

roughly how much protein do you need to repair the muscles, ive seen the suppliments think the cheapest i saw was 32 pound bout 55 dollars and that was for a 5lb tub, said 100% whey, but didnt say how much ya need put in ya shake, most ive seen seem to be between(hey gangsta ryhme that) 20-40 grams protein per shake, so is this round about how much ya need after a workout ?
