How long do you think you can go without eating(or shake) after a workout, before the meal will not benefit the muscles from the workout?

If I work legs, it takes me hours. I'm sick to my stomach for hours!

Anything else I'll do a post-shake with aminos, creatine, and glutamine.

Maybe an hour later I'll do some sort of food with a protien shake.

This what I aim for however I'm often limited in the self-disciplin department.

I believe u will benifit from a meal at any time but there is a 1-1.5 hour window after training where your insulin levels are super sensitive. Al depends on how hard to trained I suppose.. Please correct me someone if I'm wrong

PWO shake before I leave the gym then I try to get a meal in around an hour later. Like NAIR, on leg day my stomache is a wreck for a few hours afterward though.
