normally after a run, bike or swim ill have a 3:1 protein, carb ratio sports drink.

will this be ok after a strenth weights session too or should i go for a straight protein shake instead? just wondering if the amount of protein in the 3:1 mix will be enough?

I normally have a big glass of chocolate milk, may have some cheese as a snack, then normally hop through the shower and then think about eating after that.

yes it will, but depending on your fitness level you might not need that many carbs.

It is very important to take in protein and carbs right after your workouts, especially a heavy/hard weightlifting session. Also, you need to get it into your body as you are leaving the gym.
