Your PWO (post workout meal) should have some carbs. Can be oatmeal, or brown rice or yogurt. Some folks use simple carbs like maltodextrin (sp) or dextrose. Depends on your goals and how the carbs fit into your overall nutrient intake for the day. Then about an hour later have a solid food meal with fat, carb and protein.
