That's the time to load up on carbs-After Exercise
A sweaty workout depletes the stores of fuel (called glyeogen) in your muscles. So replenish them by chugging some OJ or eating half a bagel. And do it quickly: studies show your body makes new glyeogen most readily in the 15 minutes after exercising. if you miss that window, you might not be as strong for your next workout. To get an extra glycogen boost, throw in some protein, too-like peanut butter on crackers, or a few slices of turkey on wheat bread. protein also helps repair and build your muscles after strength training. No snacks available ? At least drink plenty of water or a sports drink to replace what you sweat out : from "Health September 2006"

Immediately! A high protien sugary shake is great after working out. The burst of energy and protien after working out helps speed up muslce recovery

There is no most ideal time, there is just the ideal time- ideal MEANS the best. And it doesn't matter when you eat, it matters what you eat and how much.

Immediatley. Go straight from the workout room to the dining room. Lost time is lost muscle.
