Protein shake overkill?
I eat dinner within 45 minutes after I finish my workout. Is drinking a protein shake on the way home overkill if I eat within 45 minutes post workout? I have one with complex carbs not to long before I go to the gym and sip on extend while working out.

Didn't see this thread, basically what I am looking for. I have been doing the shake post workout for years, but have just been eating a good meal without the shake lately. Seems like my strength has gone down a little, so it has made me evaluate what I am doing workout wise and diet. It might just be time for a little rest.
MEAL or Protein shake after W/O

I recently came across the muscle hypertrophy article on wikipedia.
There are a few problems I see there such as the population this... more than 30 g protein in a single meal did not
further enhance the stimulation of muscle protein synthesis ...
was conducted on, and their routine. This is mentioned on the page
as well.
Personally, I eat when I get hungry. Although for me it usually
does not happen until at least an hour and a half after my workout.

No I don't think so. I slam a 1k calorie shake immediately post workout then eat a full meal exactly 1hr after my shake. I generally limit myself to 3 shakes a day and usually try for only 2. That's me though - I prefer whole foods
