After Workout Timing (food)

I usually have a snack, oats and whey, before I go to workout and then whey, creatine, etc. after I work out. I was wondering how long is the optimal time to wait after working out to get a meal in and what should it consist of.

what do you mean by 'snack' exactly? you may not be eating enough pre or post. immediately following training is optimal. i'm partial to a low GI carb + whey PWO. this is the best time for your shake due to the absorbtion rate. makes sure your getting carbs in post workout in addition to your protein.

I know that immediatly after a workout is the best time for a "shake" - that is when I take my whey and creatine - I'm talking about an actual meal. I guess to rephrase "How long after you take your post workout shake do you eat a full meal"

I usually have a meal about 30 - 40 mins after my workout.

In my opinion ~60 minutes (or at the latest 90 minutes) after your PWO shake.
