Shawarma good post workout meal?

[KingstonU]

Right outside my gym is a shawarma place and I find it hard to not be tempted as I'm always really hungry immediately after a workout and have a 25min walk before I get home.

I'm wondering: whole wheat pita, grilled chicken, lots of veggies, hummus, garlic and for $6 and no dishes. What's not to like?

(I also take a protein shake as soon as I get home)

Nothing really, just see how many calories it is and make sure it doesn't put you over your daily limit.

Unless the pita throws you off of a "diet", I think it's one of the best options out there. Or order a fatoosh salad with chicken shawarma on top. Here in metro Detroit there's a shawarma place on every corner seemingly. I like to sneak one into the movies.

Do the protein shake first. Fat slows down assimilation. You take whey protein because it assimilates quickly its the most bioavailable protein taking it with a high fat meal works against that.. thats why i always do whey protein right after workout and then a big meal like an hour later.

Take it after training and see how this affects your weekly average weight after 3-4 weeks.
